Flow control is a technique used to regulate data transfer between computers or other nodes in a network. Flow control ensures that the transmitting device does not send more data to the receiving device than it can handle. If a device receives more data than it can process or store in memo...
Data flow control is fundamental in computer networking and information technology. It refers to the techniques and processes of managing and regulating data flow between devices or within a network to ensure efficient and error-free data transmission. This process is crucial in maintaining the integri...
What is Link Control Protocol (LCP)? In computer networking, Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a standard way to transport multiprotocol data over point-to-point links; within PPP, Link Control Protocol (LCP) establishes, configures and tests data link internet connections. In a communicatio...
Computer networking is the process of connecting two or more computing devices to enable the transmission and exchange of information and resources.
When browsers run this code on your computer, they do it in a sandbox—a restricted execution environment that controls which resources the code can access on your computer. This sandbox is a necessity; otherwise, relatively anonymous code from the Internet would be able to read your private ...
Network segmentation is the practice of dividing a computer network into multiple segments or subnetworks to control the flow of traffic. Each segment acts as its own small network, which provides organizations with increased control and enables timely detection of malicious activities within the ...
Why is QoS important? Traditional business networks operated as separate entities. Phone calls and teleconferences were handled by one network, while laptops, desktops, servers and other devices connected to another. They rarely crossed paths, unless a computer used a telephone line to access the...
A serial port is a physical communication interface that enables the transfer of data between devices, such as a computer and a modem or a printer. It transmits data serially, which means that the bits of data are sent one after the other over a single wire. In contrast, a parallel port...
USO moves most of the work required to send UDP packets from the CPU to the network adapter's specialized hardware. Complimenting USO is UDP Receive Side Coalescing (UDP RSC), which coalesces packets and reduces CPU usage for UDP processing. In addition, we have also made hundreds of ...
The IEEE 1588 protocol is a precision time protocol (PTP) used to synchronize clocks on a computer network. In LAN, it can control clock accuracy at the sub-microsecond level, making it suitable for measurement and control systems. Data Scheduling and Traffic Shaping ...
