Introduction It was commercially introduced in 1980 and first standardized in 1983 as IEEE 802.3. Definition Ethernet is the traditional LAN technology for connecting devices in a wired local area network (LAN). Features It uses IEEE 802.3 Standard in LAN data transmission. It uses CSMA/CD mechanism (carrier Seen Multiple Access/Collision Detect) Read more…
Introduction RARP stands for “Reverse Address Resolution Protocol”. RARP is now considered as an old protocol because of use of IPv4 and we use it very less anymore to assign IP addresses to hosts. Now, it has been replaced by BOOTP and later by DHCP. Reverse ARP differs from the Inverse Read more…
Introduction IGMP stands for Internet Group Management Protocol, IGMP is an important protocol for supporting efficient multicast communication in IP networks. Multicasting is a technique used in network communication to deliver packets from a sender to multiple recipients simultaneously. Definition IGMP is a communications protocol used by IP network hosts Read more…
Introduction ARP stands for “Address Resolution Protocol”. Definition ARP is a request-response communication protocol used to associate(map or translate) the IP network address to the Hardware or Physical or Media Access Control(MAC) address. In another words, ARP is a type of resolution protocol used to dynamically map layer-3 network IP addresses Read more…
Introduction of IP The Internet Protocol is the building block of the Internet. The Internet Protocol is fundamental for allowing computers, smartphones, and other devices to communicate with each other over the Internet. Definition of IP Internet Protocol (IP) is a set of rules that govern how data is sent Read more…
Introduction UDP stands for ‘User Datagram Protocol’. UDP is an alternative protocol of TCP that can be used in the Internet. Definition The UDP is an unreliable or unsecure or no guarantee, connectionless, simpler, efficient communication protocol of the transport layer of TCP/IP protocol suite. Feature UDP is also a Read more…
Introduction TCP stands for ‘Transmission Control Protocol’. Definition TCP is a reliable, secure, guaranteed, connection-oriented protocol of the transport layer of TCP/IP protocol suite that provides in-order delivery of data. Features TCP protocol is called reliable because of it guarantees that the data sent across the connection will be delivered Read more…
Introduction SSH is a secure and reliable way to remotely access and manage a remote computer or server. Definition SSH (Secure Shell) is an application layer network protocol used for secure communication over an unsecured network to securely access a remote computer or server, such as the Internet. Characteristics SSH Read more…
Introduction TLS is considered the successor to SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and is used to secure various types of communication, including web browsing, email, and instant messaging. Definition TLS (Transport Layer Security) is a cryptographic protocol designed to provide secure communication over a network, typically the Internet. Characteristics It is Read more…
Introduction A hop count is the number of routers that a packet must pass through to reach its destination. Definition RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is a dynamic routing protocol used in computer networks for routing data packets in IP (Internet Protocol) networks or to facilitate the exchange of routing information Read more…
