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 ...

Data Compression with Arithmetic Coding

Lossless and lossy data compression methods both employ the arithmetic coding process often. The approach uses entropy encoding, where symbols that are seen more frequently require fewer bits to encode than symbols that are seen less frequently. Compared to popular approaches like Huffman coding, it offers several benefits. You will have a thorough knowledge of ...

Service Set Identifier

A service set identifier’s main purpose is to distinguish one wireless local area network from another that might be simultaneously broadcasting in the same area. A basic service set (BSS), a network of connected clients and access points, and an extended service set cooperate with a service set identification.A basic service set is a subset ...

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 ...

Adding Security to Routing Protocols

The optimum route between the source and destination networks is found during the routing process by a layer 3 device (either a router or a layer 3 switch). Dynamic routing protocols are used to reduce administrator workload, i.e., administrators need to set up less, however by default, all routing information is exposed to all interested ...

Context-based Access Control

Context Based Access Control abbreviated as CBAC is part of the Cisco IOS and this functions as an application and stateful firewall and filtering of traffic is performed by it at the different OSI model layers. Traffic Filtering, Traffic Examine, Intrusion Prevention, and alert and audit traits are done by the CBAC. Introduction Context Based ...
