You might have heard of “NAT” or network address translation. NAT is a technique that allows multiple devices to share a single public IP address, which is the unique identifier of a device on the internet. There are different types of NAT, one of them is PAT. PAT in networking stands...
Computer network and the in-depth knowledge related to this is crucial in the digital world. We have discussed about what is ACL in networking and the difference between ACL and Firewall in detail. We also demonstrated the manual for configuring ACL on a switch. We hope this knowledge helps...
This tutorial covers everything one like to know about networking basics including circuit switching vs packet switching, TCP/IP protocol fields, ARP/RARP protocol fields, what is IP address ,what is MAC address, networking devices which include hub, switch, bridge, router, gateway and firewall....
What is a network protocol? In networking, a protocol is a set of rules for formatting and processing data. Network protocols are like a common language for computers. The computers within a network may use vastly different software and hardware; however, the use of protocols enables them to ...
VPNs are classified as follows based on networking models: VPDN A virtual private dial-up network (VPDN) provides access services for enterprises, small ISPs, and mobile workforces. The VPDN access scope includes the coverage areas of both the public switched telephone network (PSTN) and integrat...
A hub may be your best bet when it comes to organizing all your networked items in your living space. Whether for a small setup or large enterprise, the added benefit and convenience of a hub is what makes the investment worth while for its users. When considering networking devices, make...
A switch forwards a data packet based on the physical address (MAC address). For theIPprotocol, the switch is transparent. That is, when forwarding a data packet, the switch does not and needs not know theIP addressof the source or destination machine. It only needs to know the destinatio...
Find out what your public IPv4 and IPv6 address is revealing about you! My IP address information shows your IP location; city, region, country, ISP and location on a map. Many proxy servers, VPNs, and Tor exit nodes give themselves away.
Source routing is a technique used in computer networking that allows a user to direct network data packets to a specific destination. Depending on how it's used, the packets can be given a specific path to take or general directions which will allow some of the automatic network routing to...
Innetworking, a packet is a small segment of a larger message. Data sent over computer networks*, such as theInternet, is divided into packets. These packets are then recombined by the computer or device that receives them. Suppose Alice is writing a letter to Bob, but Bob's mail slot ...
