Asynchronous Transfer Mode

ATM stands for Asynchronous Transfer Mode and ATM is a switching technique that uses time division multiplexing for the communication of the data. And it is a connection-oriented technology. Data is converted in the fixed and small-size cells in the ATM. Introduction to Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) The full form of the ATM is Asynchronous ...

Wake-on-LAN protocol

A computer can be awakened or turned on by a network message thanks to the Wake-on-LAN (WoL) Ethernet or token ring networking standard. Scope What Is Wake-on-LAN? Wake-on-LAN (WoL or WOL) is an Ethernet or Token Ring computer networking protocol that enables a machine to be turned on or awakened by a network message.An application ...

Routing Algorithms in Computer Networks

Routing algorithms in computer networks could be a procedure that lays down the route or path to transfer information packets from the supply to the destination. They assist in directing web traffic with efficiency. Once an information packet leaves its store, it will select among the numerous methods to reach its destination. The routing formula ...

TCP Sequence Number and Wrap Around Concept

TCP is a connection-oriented transport layer protocol. The TCP sequence number is a 32-bit number that helps in providing a sequence number that is suitable with other transmitting bytes of the TCP connection. TCP sequence number uniquely identifies each data byte as it is a stream-oriented protocol.Using a sequence number over and again for maintaining ...

Cellular Network

A cellular network is a radio network spread out over land in the form of cells, each of which has a base station permanently installed. Together, these cells offer broader geographic radio coverage. Therefore, even when the user equipment (UE), like a mobile phone, is moving through cells during transmission, communication is still possible. In ...

Hot Standby Router Protocol

The Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) makes sure that when access circuits or network edge devices have first-hop failures, user traffic is instantly and transparently restored. With HSRP, you can set up two or more routers as standby routers and just one router as active at once. The Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) allows devices ...

Difference between Ping and Traceroute

In computer networks, the data between sender and receiver is transferred in small units or blocks known as packets. Each packet is transmitted separately and may take a different path to reach its destination. Once all of these packets of the original message arrive at their destination, they are reassembled to form the original message. ...

Route Poisoning and Count to Infinity Problem

This article explains the Route Poisoning and Count to infinity problem which is caused by the routing loop (A network problem in which packets continue to be routed in an endless circle) in the Distance Vector Routing (DVR) network protocol. The Distance Vector Routing protocol acquires information/ packets from its neighbor routers/nodes to reach the ...

TCP Server-Client Implementation

The communication between different processes on the same nodes or different nodes in a network is done using the concept of a socket. A socket is a structure that allows communication between processes (of the same or different machines) i.e. sending and receiving data over a network. A socket works with the port number associated ...

VRRP Protocol

Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) or VRRP protocol for IPv6 can be configured for Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, 10-Gigabit Ethernet, and logical interfaces. VRRP protocol allows hosts on a LAN to utilize redundant routing platforms on that LAN with only the static configuration of a single default route on the hosts being necessary. The ...
