Distance Vector Routing Algorithm

Distance vector is the “Dynamic Routing” protocol. Distant vector protocol also called as Bellman-Ford algorithm used to calculate the shortest path. What is Distance Vector Routing (DVR) Protocol? Distant vector routing protocol also called as Bellman-Ford algorithm or Ford Fulkerson algorithm used to calculate a path. A distance-vector protocol calculates the distance and direction of ...

Synchronous Optical Network (SONET)

SONET (Synchronous Optical Network) is a standardized form of protocol that is used in digital communication between the sender and the receiver. It uses a fiber optic medium to transmit a huge amount of data across a large distance. SONET helps us to transmit data over larger distances with greater data transmission rates. We have ...

Collision Avoidance in Wireless Networks

In computer networking, a collision happens when multiple devices attempt to transfer data via a commonly shared circuit. In a common circuit, various devices may listen at the same time, but only one device at a time is allowed to transmit data. This requires that all other devices listen to the transmission. Many devices are ...

Throughput in Computer Networks

Throughput in computer networking is the rate of successful transmission of messages over a channel of communication, such as packet radio, Ethernet, etc. The data contained in these messages may be delivered through network nodes, or over logical or physical links. Throughput is mostly measured in B.P.S. (Bits Per Second). The throughput of a network ...

Coaxial Cable in Computer Networks

An electrical cable with copper as a conductor material, a shielding of insulator material, and a braided mesh metal is known as a coaxial cable in computer networks. A coaxial cable is also known as a coax. The coaxial cable supports high-speed signal transfer over a larger distance as compared to other cables like twisted ...

HTTP Non-Persistent & Persistent Connection

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is an application layer protocol that is used to establish a connection between a client and a server so that the client can transfer data to the server and vice versa. HTTP is divided into two categories i.e. Non-Persistent connection HTTP and Persistent connection HTTP. In this article, we will discuss ...

Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting

AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting) is a framework that allows access to network resources. User identification is the process of authentication and then what resources access is allowed to the user is decided by the authorization. Accounting is used to determine the usage of network resources. Introduction to AAA AAA stands for Authentication, Authorization, and ...

Differences Between Virtual Circuits & Datagram Networks

Virtual Circuits are also known as connection-oriented switching. Virtual circuit switching establishes a predetermined path before messages are sent. In contrast, a datagram is a packet-switching technique in which each packet, known as a datagram, is treated as a separate entity. Each packet carries destination information, which the switch uses to route the packet to ...

Telnet in Computer Networks

TELNET is an acronym for TErminaL-NETwork. It is a form of protocol that makes it possible for one computer to connect to a nearby computer. It is employed as a common TCP/IP protocol for the virtual terminal service provided by ISO. The local computer is the one that establishes the connection. A remote computer is ...

Program for IP Forwarding Table Lookup

There exists a routing table in the Unix operating system consisting of several tuples that contain the I.P. (Internet Protocol) address of the network, the subnet mask, the IP address of the gateway, and the name of the interface. This information is required for forwarding packets to the exterior of the network for connecting to ...
