For sending the packet to its destination we must be aware of the source MAC address and destination MAC address and source and destination IP address. The packet will be directly delivered if the destination is available in the same network otherwise the packet is sent to the default gateway first. Introduction For the successful ...
All protocol architectures that have ever been created offer multiplexing and demultiplexing features. The source port number field and the destination port number field are two unique fields that UDP and TCP use to conduct the demultiplexing and multiplexing tasks in the segment headers.Multiplexing is the act of assembling data from several application processes of ...
Computers or devices require IP addresses to communicate on the network. In today’s world, there are numerous network types available, including the internet, intranet, local area network, wide area network, storage area network, and so on. To communicate on those networks, each device requires an IP address. We can manually or automatically assign an IP ...
Data link layer protocols are classified according to whether the transmission channel is noiseless or noisy. Noiseless is an ideal or perfect channel where no frames are lost, duplicated, or corrupted. In contrast, a noisy channel indicates that there will be a lot of disruption in the path when data is transmitted from the sender ...
A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a network of small, autonomous devices equipped with sensors that monitor and collect data from their surroundings. They communicate wirelessly, enabling data collection, analysis, and transmission. WSNs are used in a variety of fields, including environmental monitoring, industrial automation, healthcare, and smart infrastructure. What are Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs)? ...
A VPN (virtual private network) is a service that establishes a secure, encrypted online connection. A VPN establishes a virtual connection between your device and a distant server managed by a VPN service. This connection establishes a secure point-to-point tunnel that encodes your personal information, conceals your IP address, and enables you to bypass online ...
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 ...
A bridge is a network device that joins multiple subnetworks to form a large single network. It offers interconnection to other computer networks that employ the same protocol. Multiple LANs (Local Area Networks) can be linked via a bridge to build a more extensive LAN. Bridges operate at the data link layer, the second layer ...
A website is like a bundle of web pages that holds various things like text, pictures, and videos. Accessing these pages is as simple as typing a specific web address (URL) into your browser’s address bar.Static and dynamic websites are two fundamental types of websites that differ in their structure, content management, and user interaction. ...
In ring topology, every node has a connection with two neighbor nodes. And they share a single continuous pathway for signal transmission in the whole network. Ring topology is used by the Local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN). What is Ring Topology? In a computer network, a ring topology is a type ...
