An industrial network must provide security both from intrusions from outside the plant, and from inadvertent or unauthorized use within the plant. [ 3 ] When an industrial network must connect to an office network or external networks, a firewall system can be inserted to control exchange of data between the networks.
IEEE 802.1Q, often referred to as Dot1q, is the networking standard that supports virtual local area networking (VLANs) on an IEEE 802.3 Ethernet network. The standard defines a system of VLAN tagging for Ethernet frames and the accompanying procedures to be used by bridges and switches in handling such frames.
Promiscuous mode is often used to diagnose network connectivity issues. There are programs that make use of this feature to show the user all the data being transferred over the network. Some protocols like FTP and Telnet transfer data and passwords in clear text, without encryption, and network scanners can see this data.
In multilevel security mode of operation (also called Controlled Security Mode), all users must have: Signed NDA for ALL information on the system. Proper clearance for SOME information on the system. Formal access approval for SOME information on the system. A valid need to know for SOME information on the system.
An overwhelmed network node can send a pause frame, which halts the transmission of the sender for a specified period of time. A media access control (MAC) frame (EtherType 0x8808) is used to carry the pause command, with the Control opcode set to 0x0001 (hexadecimal). [1] Only stations configured for full-duplex operation may send pause frames.
When a router interconnects many networks or handles much network traffic, it may become a bottleneck and cause network congestion (i.e., traffic loss). A number of techniques have been developed to prevent such problems. One of them is the network search engine (NSE), also known as network search element.
In telecommunications, echo is the local display of data, either initially as it is locally sourced and sent, or finally as a copy of it is received back from a remote destination. Local echo is where the local sending equipment displays the outgoing sent data. Remote echo is where the display is a return copy of data as received remotely.
Packet flow can be represented as a path in a network to model network performance. For example, a water flow network can be used to conceptualize packet flow. Communication channels can be thought of as pipes, with the pipe capacity corresponding to bandwidth and flows corresponding to data throughput. This visualization can help to understand ...
