Circuit & Parallel Switching: Differences
Introduction Circuit switching is the name of the data transfer technique that makes use of messages being sent from one place to another. This entails transmitting signals simultaneously from the sender to the receiver and back. A physical connection is made during this procedure along with the receiver; data is
Mesh Topology in Computer Networks: Pros and Cons
Introduction In this blog we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of mesh topology. A topology signifies the arrangement of nodes or devices in a network. The mesh topology is a type of topology in which every device or computer is connected to every other device. Each device not only
Routing Table in Computer Networks
Introduction Routing tables will be covered in this lesson. We will discuss what they are and how they are utilized. Additionally, we'll learn how to comprehend the additions made to routing tables. Because they maintain a list of linked networks, routing tables are crucial for ensuring that packets are sent
Socket in Computer Network
Introduction A socket is a communication endpoint in a computer network that allows two computers to communicate with each other. It is a software construct that allows a computer to send and receive data over the network. For example, consider a client computer that wants to send a request to
Network Topology
Introduction The configuration of how computer systems or network devices are connected to one another is known as a topology. Topologies can specify a network's logical and physical aspects. A network may have the same or dissimilar logical and physical topologies. Point-to-Point A single length of wire connects exactly two
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs)
Introduction Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are networks of specialized, geographically scattered sensors that track and record environmental physical variables and transmit the gathered information to a centralized point. Environmental factors including temperature, sound, pollution levels, humidity, and wind may all be measured by WSNs. These are comparable to wireless ad
Firewall Networking
Introduction Intranets in particular are protected by network firewalls, which are security tools intended to prevent or lessen illegal access to private networks connected to the Internet. Firewall policies specify the only traffic permitted on the network; all other traffic that tries to reach the web is prohibited. Network firewalls
Classful IP Addressing: What it is?
Introduction An IPv4 addressing architecture known as classful addressing splits addresses into five classes. The first eight bits of an IP address formerly identified the network that a particular host belonged to. This is known as classful addressing. This would have reduced the number of networks on the internet to
Network Security Explained
Introduction Network security refers to the protection of computer networks and devices connected to those networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and threats. An example of network security is installing a firewall to block malicious traffic and prevent hackers from accessing a company’s confidential data. Vulnerabilities of Network Security There
A Quick Guide to Transmission Modes
Introduction Transmission mode refers to the process of moving data from one device to another. * The communication mode is another name for the transmission mode. * Each communication channel has a direction that goes with it, and the direction is provided by the transmission medium. As a result, the transmission mode
