MAC Addresses and IP Addresses both identify devices on the Internet. The NIC card manufacturer provides MAC Address. Whereas, the Internet Service Provider provides the IP Address. The main difference between them is that MAC Address is used for physical location to identify it on a network. Whereas, IP Addresses is used to indentify device on the Internet… Read More »
There are few technical terms related to networking which are often used in day-to-day language so it becomes necessary to know what they actually mean and also the differences between them. Sometimes we use online tools to test our network strength and there are often few technical jargons related to it. Below are a few terms which are… Read More »
1. Cellular Network : A cellular network, also known as a mobile network, operates over a group of cells covering geographic areas. There are base stations. Base stations are connected to the mobile switching center. There is an air interface of physical and link layer protocols between the mobile and the base station. It is a radio network… Read More »
LTE : LTE(Long Term Evolution) is high-speed wireless communication for phones as well as data terminals. It is designed mainly for data technology only. It can or can not support simultaneous data services and voice calls. LTE is faster than Wi-Fi, 3G, and 4G. In this together use of data service and voice reduces voice quality. It allows… Read More »
OSI stands for Open Systems Interconnection. It has been developed by ISO – ‘International Organization of Standardization‘, in the year 1984. It is a 7 layer architecture with each layer having specific functionality to perform. All these 7 layers work collaboratively to transmit the data from one person to another across the globe. In the OSI reference model,… Read More »
Transport Layer is the second layer of the TCP/IP model. It is an end-to-end layer used to deliver messages to a host. It is termed as an end-to-end layer because it provides a point-to-point connection rather than hop-to- hop, between the source host and destination host to deliver the services reliably. The unit of data encapsulation in Transport… Read More »
A network consists of two or more nodes (e.g. computers) that are linked in order to share resources (such as printers and CDs), exchange files, or allow electronic communications. The computers on a network may be linked through cables, telephone lines, radio waves, satellites, or infrared light beams. Networking Elements : The computer network includes the following networking… Read More »
Network Topology is the representation of a network arrangement, consisting of several nodes i.e. sender and receiver nodes, and the lines connecting these nodes. Types of Network Topology : Let us look at the type of Network Topologies available. P2P Topology : Point-to-point topology is the easiest of all the network topologies. In this method, the network consists… Read More »
