Virtual LANsCreate logical groups of devices in their own virtual LAN. Traffic in one virtual LAN doesn't cross over into another virtual LAN. This logical group of devices can improve the security and performance of the network. Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)Build resilience into your network by...

which is 10 times faster than its predecessor. This speed improvement is only made possible by using fiber optics. The standard now requires that 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks use area-based routing rather than broadcasting data to all nodes. In that way, network noise and traffic are reduced. ...

Quality of Service (QoS): WANs often implement QoS mechanisms to prioritize certain types of traffic, such as voice or video, to ensure optimal performance and minimize latency for critical applications. Types of WAN: 1. Packet switching: Two main types of packet switching are used in wide are...
Access Point (AP): An access point (AP) consists of a Wi-Fi that is advertising a network name (known as a Service Set Identifier, or SSID). Users who connect to this network will typically find their traffic bridged to a local-area network (LAN) wired network (like Ethernet) for co...
A virtual LAN (VLAN) is a type of LAN configuration that virtually groups network components into segments. Network administrators create VLANs to operate segments as individual systems, separate from the rest of the LAN. VLANs prevent network congestion by isolating LAN traffic for each segment,...
A bridge aggregates the partitioned network segments and controls traffic that moves between them. A transparent bridge interconnects LANs that use the same protocol suite, while a translation bridge joins LANs that use different protocols.
Ethernet is a wired networking technology that is commonly used in LANs. Learn about Ethernet's different parts, how they work together, types, and more.
