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 ...
Overview The world’s current population is around 7.6 billion people, and the number of devices connected to the internet is estimated to be over 50 billion, implying that each person uses approximately 6 internet-connected devices. This number has been increasing since the day when the first network, ARPANET was made. In today’s world, one cannot imagine life without the internet. In this article, ...
