To analyze the working and efficiency of the network devices, various metrics (a metric is defined as a standard or system of measurement) are used. The collision domain and the broadcast domain are two of those metrics. A collision domain is measured by finding out the number of devices whose signals collides with each other ...
The Diffie-Hellman Algorithm is a secure way of cryptographic keys exchange across a public channel. It was among the very first public-key protocols. Ralph Merkle came up with the Diffie-hellman key exchange and it was named after Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman. Within the fields of cryptography, DH (Diffie-Hellman) is the earliest example of public ...
A communication protocol used in local area networks is called the Token Ring protocol (LAN). The topology of the network determines the sequence in which stations send in a token ring protocol. A single ring of connections connects all of the stations. It makes use of a unique three-byte frame known as a “token” that ...
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 ...
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 ...
SONET (Synchronous Optical Network) is a standardized form of protocol that is used in digital communication between the sender and the receiver. It uses a fiber optic medium to transmit a huge amount of data across a large distance. SONET helps us to transmit data over larger distances with greater data transmission rates. We have ...
In computer networking, a collision happens when multiple devices attempt to transfer data via a commonly shared circuit. In a common circuit, various devices may listen at the same time, but only one device at a time is allowed to transmit data. This requires that all other devices listen to the transmission. Many devices are ...
Throughput in computer networking is the rate of successful transmission of messages over a channel of communication, such as packet radio, Ethernet, etc. The data contained in these messages may be delivered through network nodes, or over logical or physical links. Throughput is mostly measured in B.P.S. (Bits Per Second). The throughput of a network ...
An electrical cable with copper as a conductor material, a shielding of insulator material, and a braided mesh metal is known as a coaxial cable in computer networks. A coaxial cable is also known as a coax. The coaxial cable supports high-speed signal transfer over a larger distance as compared to other cables like twisted ...
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is an application layer protocol that is used to establish a connection between a client and a server so that the client can transfer data to the server and vice versa. HTTP is divided into two categories i.e. Non-Persistent connection HTTP and Persistent connection HTTP. In this article, we will discuss ...
