Fragmentation in Networking

Fragmentation is a process that divides packets into smaller pieces (fragments) so that the resulting pieces can travel across a link with a smaller maximum transmission unit (MTU) than the original packet size. The network layer fragments data when the maximum size of a datagram exceeds the maximum size of data that can be retained ...

Multiple Access Protocols

Whenever a sender and receiver have a radical link to transmit data/information packets, the data link management is enough to handle the channel. Assume there is no committed path to communicate the data between 2 devices. In this case, with multiple access protocols, the channel at the same time transmits the information over the channel. ...

Difference between Byte Stuffing and Bit Stuffing

At the receiver end the data bits stream, received from the physical layer is divided into the frames on the data link layer. Data frames can have fixed or variable length sizes. The size of every frame is different in variable framing so bit patterns are used in starting and end of the data frame. ...

Framing in Data Link Layer

Framing in the data link layer is a vital side wherever a difficulty is often highlighted to form a sense of the events. It will regulate the audience’s perception and additionally the acceptance of a specific meaning. As media plays a specific role in people’s perceptions, negative framing can produce a huge impact on individuals. ...

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 ...

Difference between HTML and HTTP

HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) and HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) are two completely distinct technologies. HTTP is an application protocol that governs how information travels on the World Wide Web, whereas HTML governs how Web pages are formatted and displayed. HTTP protocol determines how Web data is moved around the internet, whereas HTML is the ...

Distance Vector Routing v/s Link State Routing

Routing is the process of choosing the path in the network. Distance vector routing is the routing protocol that selects the path based on parameter distance. Link State routing protocol is the protocol that chooses the best path based on the cost of the path. Introduction to Routing Routing decides the best path for the ...

P2P(Peer To Peer) File Sharing

Peer-to-peer has decentralized the simplest form of network architecture where every computer system can communicate with every other computer system. In the peer-to-peer network, each node of the network has equal permission and responsibility for processing the data or information. Each computer network in the peer-to-peer computer network architecture acts as an independent workstation and ...

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 ...
