Spanning Tree protocol is a link management protocol. It is used for creating a loop-free network. It is also a layer-2 protocol that runs on bridges and switches. In IEEE standard, it is standardized as IEEE 802.1D. Introduction What is STP? STP is a link management protocol and also a layer 2 protocol. STP generally ...
Fragmentation is a process that divides packets into smaller pieces (fragments) so that the resulting pieces can travel across a link with a smaller maximum transmission unit (MTU) than the original packet size. The network layer fragments data when the maximum size of a datagram exceeds the maximum size of data that can be retained ...
Whenever a sender and receiver have a radical link to transmit data/information packets, the data link management is enough to handle the channel. Assume there is no committed path to communicate the data between 2 devices. In this case, with multiple access protocols, the channel at the same time transmits the information over the channel. ...
At the receiver end the data bits stream, received from the physical layer is divided into the frames on the data link layer. Data frames can have fixed or variable length sizes. The size of every frame is different in variable framing so bit patterns are used in starting and end of the data frame. ...
Framing in the data link layer is a vital side wherever a difficulty is often highlighted to form a sense of the events. It will regulate the audience’s perception and additionally the acceptance of a specific meaning. As media plays a specific role in people’s perceptions, negative framing can produce a huge impact on individuals. ...
A communication protocol used in local area networks is called the Token Ring protocol (LAN). The topology of the network determines the sequence in which stations send in a token ring protocol. A single ring of connections connects all of the stations. It makes use of a unique three-byte frame known as a “token” that ...
HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) and HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) are two completely distinct technologies. HTTP is an application protocol that governs how information travels on the World Wide Web, whereas HTML governs how Web pages are formatted and displayed. HTTP protocol determines how Web data is moved around the internet, whereas HTML is the ...
Routing is the process of choosing the path in the network. Distance vector routing is the routing protocol that selects the path based on parameter distance. Link State routing protocol is the protocol that chooses the best path based on the cost of the path. Introduction to Routing Routing decides the best path for the ...
Data overflow occurs when a device receives too much data before it can handle it. Flow control instructs the sender how much information should be transferred to the recipient. This allows the data to be processed at an effective rate and prevents data loss or retransmission. There are mainly three types of flow control. In ...
Peer-to-peer has decentralized the simplest form of network architecture where every computer system can communicate with every other computer system. In the peer-to-peer network, each node of the network has equal permission and responsibility for processing the data or information. Each computer network in the peer-to-peer computer network architecture acts as an independent workstation and ...
