Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) is a dynamic network-layer protocol with protocol number 88, initially a Cisco proprietary system but transitioning toward an open standard. EIGRP facilitates classless routing, VLSM, route summarization, and efficient load balancing. Unlike earlier protocols like IGRP or BGP, EIGRP enhances data exchange efficiency among routers. Born from Cisco’s 1990s initiative ...
Access Control Lists (ACLs) are a collection of permit-and-deny restrictions, also known as rules, that offer security by preventing unauthorized users from accessing particular resources and granting authorized users access. Additionally, ACLs can govern traffic flow, limit the information in routing updates, and determine which types of traffic are sent or denied. ACLs often sit ...
What is Bluetooth ? It is a technology that uses low-power, short-range communication technology that is used for connecting and sharing data between two or more devices electronically. It is used in a wide variety of applications like headphones, phones, etc. How Does Bluetooth Work ? How does Bluetooth work inside a device ? The ...
A WebSocket is a full-duplex and bidirectional protocol used in the client-server communication channels. A WebSocket address starts with wss:// or ws://. It is a stateful protocol, implying that the connection between the server and the client is kept alive until either client or server terminates it. After closing the connection by either the server ...
The term Aloha in computer network means hello. Aloha is a data-link layer multiple access protocols that describes how multiple terminals can access the medium without interfering or conflicting. Norman Abramson and his associates developed it in the 1970s at the University of Hawaii. Each node or station in ALOHA transmits a frame without attempting ...
IPv6 boasts a concise header despite its address being quadruple the size of IPv4. Its header structure consists of a Fixed Header containing vital routing data, and potentially, Extension Headers for additional packet details. This design ensures efficiency and complexity improvements over IPv4. IPv6’s innovative approach enhances internet protocol capabilities, maintaining essential routing information while ...
Router-on-a-stick (ROAS) could be an approach to link a router with one individual physical link to handle and execute IP routing among VLANs. Through the switch’s outlook, A physical link is drawn as a trunk port permitting all VLANs that proceed to be routed. Coming from the router’s viewpoint, another physical intersection is constituted as numerous effective sub-alliances, ...
WPS stands for WiFi Protected Setup and is a network security standard whose aim is to make connections between wireless devices and a router in a fast and easy way. The Wi-Fi Protected Setup or WPS was originally known as Wi-Fi Simple Config. The WPS was built by Cisco in the year 2006. It was introduced to allow home users (who ...
Various types of timers are used by the TCP to avoid excessive delay during the transmission of the segment. Some of the TCP timers are timeout timer, time wait timer, keep alive timer, and persistent timer. Introduction Various types of TCP timers are used to make sure that excessive delay in the transmission of data ...
In networking, topology is the layout of a computer network, including how its nodes are connected to one another and communicate. Topologies can be either logical or physical. Nodes in topologies usually include devices like switches, routers, and software with switch and router features. A graph is a common way to represent network topologies. In network topology ...
