So, what is a network segment and how do you set one up? Essentially, segmenting a network requires specific hardware in order to set up particular subnetworks. While these will vary depending on your project goals and budget, switches, hubs, and routers are typically the building blocks for...
Data packet loss from congestion is partially countered by aggressive network protocol retransmission, which maintains a network congestion state after reducing the initial data load. This can create two stable states under the same data traffic load – one dealing with the initial load and the other...
As content providers began delivering more rich web content such as graphics and video over the internet, CDN services were created to solve the problem of network congestion that resembled a traffic jam. Getting content from centrally located servers to individual users simply took too long. CDNs...
At its core, a CDN is a network of servers linked together with the goal of delivering content as quickly, cheaply, reliably, and securely as possible. In order to improve speed and connectivity, a CDN will place servers at the exchange points between different networks. ...
A peer-to-peer (P2P) network is a decentralized communication model where each participant, or ‘peer,’ has equal status. Each peer functions as both a client and a server, allowing for direct resource sharing without the need for a central authority. The P2P network architecture enables ef...
A good example of how this works is segmentation preventing a malware attack on a hospital from reaching mission-critical devices that do not have security software installed. 2. Performance Network segmentation reduces the congestion that often results in performance drop-off. This is particularly ...
The Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)network managementprotocolthat provides a secure mechanism for installing, manipulating and deleting the configuration data on a network device, such as afirewall,routerorswitch. ...
“Network neutrality is best defined as a network design principle. The idea is that a maximally useful public information network aspires to treat all content, sites, and platforms equally. This allows the network to carry every form of information and support every kind of application. The pri...
Reduced quality of service.Because devices on a bus receive all data along the wire, network congestion can occur, severely limiting the amount of data that can be transported. The more devices that are added to the bus, the less efficient the bus network becomes. ...
