Supernetting is the process of aggregation of multiple networks into a single network, and it is an inverse process of subnetting. CIDR Value, Network ID, Subnet Mask, Broadcast ID, and Block Size of the route ID are the information required for performing the Supernetting. Supernetting can only be performed on those networks that satisfy the three rules that are explained in this ...
IPv6 boasts a concise header despite its address being quadruple the size of IPv4. Its header structure consists of a Fixed Header containing vital routing data, and potentially, Extension Headers for additional packet details. This design ensures efficiency and complexity improvements over IPv4. IPv6’s innovative approach enhances internet protocol capabilities, maintaining essential routing information while ...
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. ...
