Thick Ethernet vs thin Ethernet
Thick Ethernet Thick Ethernet was the first commercially available form of cabling supported by Ethernet. It is technically known as 10-BASE-5. Here, 10 is the maximum throughput, i.e. 10 Mbps,…
Switched Ethernet vs. Classic Ethernet
Ethernet is a set of technologies and protocols that are used primarily in LANs. It was first standardized in 1980s as IEEE 802.3 standard. Ethernet can be broadly classified into…
Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP)
EGP is a protocol used to exchange data between gateway hosts that are neighbors with each other within autonomous systems. This routing protocol offers a forum for routers to share…
Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
RIP is used in both LAN and WAN Networks. It also runs on the Application layer of the OSI model. The full form of RIP is the Routing Information Protocol. Two…
Distance Vector Routing Protocol (DVR)
Distance Vector Protocols advertise their routing table to every directly connected neighbor at specific time intervals using lots of bandwidths and slow converge. In the Distance Vector routing protocol, when…
What is Routing Protocols?
Routing Protocols are the set of defined rules used by the routers to communicate between source & destination. They do not move the information to the source to a destination, but…
Sliding Window Protocol
Sliding window protocols are data link layer protocols for reliable and sequential delivery of data frames. The sliding window is also used in Transmission Control Protocol. In this protocol, multiple…
Sublayers of Data Link Layer
Data Link Layer has two sublayers, Logical Link Control (LLC):This is the uppermost sub-layer, LLC consists of protocols running at the top of the data link layer, and also provides flow…
Classification of Modems
Modem word came from the combination of two words modulator and demodulator. A modem is a hardware device that enables the computers to transmit data over cable or satellite connection.A…
Types of Modems
• Modems can be of several types and they can be categorized in a number of ways. • Categorization is usually based on the following basic modem features: 1. Directional…
