Sockets in computer networks are used for allowing the transmission of information between two processes of the same machines or different machines in the network. The socket is the combination of IP address and software port number used for communication between multiple processes. Socket helps to recognize the address of the application to which data is to be sent using ...
IEEE stands for Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. The main AIM of IEEE is to foster technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity. The IEEE standards in computer networks ensure communication between various devices; it also helps to make sure that the network service, i.e., the Internet and its related technologies, must follow a set of ...
The cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is widely used as a data transmission error detection tool in the field of data communication, mostly used in digital networks and storage devices. The data sent by the sender side is sent to the receiver by appending a small check code in the data stream. This check code is generated using ...
Digital signatures allow us to verify the author, date, and time of signatures and authenticate the message contents. To verify the integrity and validity of digital messages and documents, it employs a cutting-edge mathematical technique. It helps us combat the issue of impersonation and tampering in digital communications and ensures that the contents of a message are ...
TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol and is a suite of communication protocols that makes data exchange between two devices possible. TCP/IP specifies how data should be packetized, addressed, transmitted, routed, and received on a network by providing end-to-end communication. As compared to the OSI model, which is a theoretical model, TCP/IP is an application and practical ...
A device on the internet or a local network can be identified by its IP address, which is a special address. An endpoint device in an IPv6 network is identified by an IPv6 address, which is a 128-bit alphanumeric value. It offers Efficient Routing as well as a sufficient quantity of unique IP addresses. What is ...
MQTT stands for Message Queuing Telemetry Transport and is a lightweight publish/subscribe messaging protocol for Machine to Machine(M2M) telemetry in low bandwidth environments. It was developed in 1999 by Arlen Nipper and Andy Stanford-Clark of IBM to link Oil Pipeline telemetry systems through satellite. It was once a proprietary protocol, but in 2010 MQTT was made available royalty-free, and in 2014 MQTT was made an OASIS standard. MQTT ...
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) comprises communication standards facilitating the concurrent digital transmission of voice, video, and data over traditional public switched telephone network circuits. Unlike its predecessor, which primarily transmitted voice, ISDN’s innovation lies in integrating speech and data on the same lines, a capability absent in traditional telephone systems. Operating as a circuit-switched ...
Hotspot 2.0 (HS2), also known as Passpoint” or “Next Generation Hotspot, represents a significant evolution in public Wi-Fi access. This innovative standard, driven by the Wi-Fi Alliance and endorsed by the Wireless Broadband Alliance, simplifies and secures the process of connecting to public wireless hotspots. It’s built on the IEEE 802.11u standard, enhancing how devices discover and securely connect to network ...
An internet is a huge network of networks that helps us to connect millions of computers together. These computers that are connected to each other through the internet can interact with each other over the internet. The Internet operates on a technique called packet switching. In packet switching, the data that is transferred among the different computers ...
