Network protocols are a set of rules, conventions, and data structures that dictate how devices exchange data across networks. In other words, network protocols can be equated to languages that two devices must understand for seamless communication of information, regardless of their infrastructure and...
Computer networks allow people across the world to communicate using various means including social media platforms such as twitter, linkedin, X (formerly twitter) etc. Computer networks are connected using various wired and wireless mediums as shown in figure-1. Wired communication uses coaxial cable...
Telnet stands for Telecommunication Network. It is a virtual terminal protocol. It allows a user to access a system remotely. In remote control, a session appears in which the user can manage the files on the remote computer, although the session appears to be functioning locally. Telnet is a...
This is one of the more well-known types of internet protocols. When you type a web address (URL) into your browser, HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is the protocol your computer uses to request the content from a web server. HTTP works using a client-server model: The client (web b...
We explore these two address types in more detail later. What is a data packet? A data packet is a unit that's used to describe the message that two devices on a network send each other. A data packet consists of raw data, headers, and potentially a trailer. The header contains severa...
TCP,transmission control protocol- a protocol developed for the internet to get data from one network device to another; "TCP uses a retransmission strategy to insure that data will not be lost in transmission" TCP/IP,transmission control protocol/internet protocol- a set of protocols (including ...

As shown in the following figureIEEE 802.1Qbv timeslot division, when IEEE 802.1Qbv is used, packets are scheduled for end-to-end transmission in a repetition period. IEEE 802.1Qbv defines three basic types of traffic: time-sensitive flows, best-effort flows, and reserved flows. Time-sensitive...
In a nutshell, it's a form of communication that allows for the sharing of resources from one device to another and without computer networking, none of the technology we have today could have been attained. An Introduction to Computer Networks (Peter L. Dordal) This is a general-purpose ...
Reflecting the advances made since the first edition was published, this new edition offers a succinct and concise tutorial on the major types of networks in use today. Each modular chapter provides a complete description of a major computer network technology, covering Frame Relay, SMDS, FDDI, ...
