Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) is a dynamic network-layer protocol with protocol number 88, initially a Cisco proprietary system but transitioning toward an open standard. EIGRP facilitates classless routing, VLSM, route summarization, and efficient load balancing. Unlike earlier protocols like IGRP or BGP, EIGRP enhances data exchange efficiency among routers. Born from Cisco’s 1990s initiative ...
Router-on-a-stick (ROAS) could be an approach to link a router with one individual physical link to handle and execute IP routing among VLANs. Through the switch’s outlook, A physical link is drawn as a trunk port permitting all VLANs that proceed to be routed. Coming from the router’s viewpoint, another physical intersection is constituted as numerous effective sub-alliances, ...
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 ...
Various types of timers are used by the TCP to avoid excessive delay during the transmission of the segment. Some of the TCP timers are timeout timer, time wait timer, keep alive timer, and persistent timer. Introduction Various types of TCP timers are used to make sure that excessive delay in the transmission of data ...
In networking, topology is the layout of a computer network, including how its nodes are connected to one another and communicate. Topologies can be either logical or physical. Nodes in topologies usually include devices like switches, routers, and software with switch and router features. A graph is a common way to represent network topologies. In network topology ...
Manchester code, commonly known as phase encoding, is a line code used in communications and data storage in which each data bit is encoded either high then low, or low then high for an equal period of time. The signal is self-clocking and has no DC component. As a result, galvanically isolating electrical connections using the Manchester code is ...
LAN is a type of network which is used to connect devices within a limited area. LAN is limited to a building, church, school, or small geographical area. Ethernet and power over the Ethernet are the most popular LAN technologies used today. Cost efficiency, Installed base, Maintainability, and Performance are factors considered while selecting the ...
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) in computer networks is an Internet Standard protocol for gathering, organizing, and altering information about managed devices on IP networks to affect the behavior of the devices. SNMP in computer networks is commonly supported by cable modems, routers, switches, servers, workstations, printers, and other devices.For network monitoring, SNMP is ...
When a device is within its home network in an IP network, routing is based on static IP addresses. The IP address assigned to the device on the network connects it to the network via standard IP routing. This is similar to how a postal letter is delivered to the specified address on the envelope. ...
In controlled access protocols, communication on a shared medium is regulated to prevent data collisions. Each station consults with others to determine which has the transmission right, allowing only one node to send data at a time. This method ensures efficient data transfer without conflicts. The three primary controlled access techniques are Reservation, Polling, and ...
