In addition, when the scope of a diagram crosses the common LAN/MAN/WAN boundaries, representative hypothetical devices may be depicted instead of showing all actually existing nodes. For example, if a network appliance is intended to be connected through the Internet to many end-user mobile devices, only a single such device may be depicted ...
Ethernet (/ ˈ iː θ ər n ɛ t / EE-thər-net) is a family of wired computer networking technologies commonly used in local area networks (LAN), metropolitan area networks (MAN) and wide area networks (WAN). [1] It was commercially introduced in 1980 and first standardized in 1983 as IEEE 802.3.
In computer networking, linear network coding is a program in which intermediate nodes transmit data from source nodes to sink nodes by means of linear combinations.. Linear network coding may be used to improve a network's throughput, efficiency, and scalability, as well as reducing attacks and eavesdropping.
A local area network (LAN) is a computer network that interconnects computers within a limited area such as a residence, campus, or building, [1] [2] [3] and has its network equipment and interconnects locally managed. LANs facilitate the distribution of data and sharing network devices, such as printers.
The physical layer defines the means of transmitting a stream of raw bits [2] over a physical data link connecting network nodes.The bitstream may be grouped into code words or symbols and converted to a physical signal that is transmitted over a transmission medium.
In telecommunications, packet switching is a method of grouping data into short messages in fixed format, i.e. packets, that are transmitted over a digital network.Packets are made of a header and a payload.
Interior gateway protocols type 2, distance-vector routing protocols, such as Routing Information Protocol, RIPv2, IGRP. Exterior gateway protocols are routing protocols used on the Internet for exchanging routing information between Autonomous Systems , such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), a path-vector routing protocol .
A network socket is a software structure within a network node of a computer network that serves as an endpoint for sending and receiving data across the network. The structure and properties of a socket are defined by an application programming interface (API) for the networking architecture.
