WPS stands for WiFi Protected Setup and is a network security standard whose aim is to make connections between wireless devices and a router in a fast and easy way. The Wi-Fi Protected Setup or WPS was originally known as Wi-Fi Simple Config. The WPS was built by Cisco in the year 2006. It was introduced to allow home users (who ...
The signal transmission over various channels can be performed in two different ways namely – Frequency division and Time division multiplexing. In frequency division multiplexing, we transfer many signals at the same time and each source transmits its signals in its allocated range of frequency. In the time division multiplexing, the transmission time is divided ...
Peer-to-peer has decentralized the simplest form of network architecture where every computer system can communicate with every other computer system. In the peer-to-peer network, each node of the network has equal permission and responsibility for processing the data or information. Each computer network in the peer-to-peer computer network architecture acts as an independent workstation and ...
The communication between different processes on the same nodes or different nodes in a network is done using the concept of a socket. A socket is a structure that allows communication between processes (of the same or different machines) i.e. sending and receiving data over a network. A socket works with the port number associated ...
The sliding window protocol is a data link layer protocol that is useful in the sequential and reliable delivery of the data frames. Using the sliding window protocol, the sender can send multiple frames at a time. The sliding window protocol uses a mechanism of sequence numbers. The sender associates a sequence number to the ...
SONET (Synchronous Optical Network) is a standardized form of protocol that is used in digital communication between the sender and the receiver. It uses a fiber optic medium to transmit a huge amount of data across a large distance. SONET helps us to transmit data over larger distances with greater data transmission rates. We have ...
An electrical cable with copper as a conductor material, a shielding of insulator material, and a braided mesh metal is known as a coaxial cable in computer networks. A coaxial cable is also known as a coax. The coaxial cable supports high-speed signal transfer over a larger distance as compared to other cables like twisted ...
A chatroom is a minimal chatting application. A chatroom is a minimal server that we can create and allow several clients to connect. All the clients that are connected to the server can transfer messages and data to one another via the central server. In this project, we will broadcast our message to every client ...
MIME in computer networks stands for Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions. MIME is an extension of its parent protocol i.e. SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). MIME protocol is not restricted to textual data only. With the help of the MIME protocol, we can send various types of data through the internet such as text, images, audio, ...
Two well-known models in networking, TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) and OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) provide the conceptual foundations for comprehending communication operations. While both models enable data interchange across networks, their organizational and conceptual approaches differ. OSI Model It is a conceptual framework that influences how gadgets interact with networks. Imagine it as a ...
