The normal operation of Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) ensures a loop-free topology in Ethernet networks. STP identifies and blocks redundant paths that could cause network loops, allowing only one active path between network devices. It dynamically adjusts to network topology changes by re-calculating the tree and updating the status of ports to maintain network stability … Read more

TLS, or Transport Layer Security, is a cryptographic protocol designed to provide secure communication over a computer network. It ensures data privacy, integrity, and authentication between client-server applications, such as web browsers and servers, email clients and servers, and other types of network services. TLS operates at the transport layer of the OSI model, securing … Read more

Powerline networks utilize the existing electrical wiring in buildings to transmit data signals. Devices called powerline adapters plug into standard electrical outlets, converting data from Ethernet cables into signals that can travel through the electrical wiring. Other powerline adapters elsewhere in the building receive these signals and convert them back into Ethernet data, allowing devices … Read more

The 4 R’s of cloud migration refer to strategies organizations use to decide how to migrate their applications and workloads to the cloud: Rehost (lift and shift): Involves migrating applications from on-premises to the cloud with minimal changes to the architecture. It’s often quicker but may not fully leverage cloud benefits. Refactor (rearchitect): Involves redesigning … Read more

Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a network of interconnected devices embedded with sensors, software, and connectivity that enables them to collect and exchange data over the internet. These devices can range from simple household appliances to complex industrial machinery. IoT works by allowing devices to communicate with each other and with centralized systems, often … Read more

The cloud migration process involves transferring an organization’s digital assets, such as applications, data, and IT processes, from on-premises infrastructure to a cloud environment. It typically begins with assessment and planning, where current systems are evaluated for cloud suitability and a migration strategy is developed. Following this, preparation involves optimizing applications and data for migration, … Read more

REST API (Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface) is a type of web service that follows the principles of REST architecture. It uses standard HTTP methods such as GET, POST, PUT, DELETE to perform operations on resources. REST APIs are stateless, meaning each request from a client contains all necessary information to process the request, … Read more

Wireshark’s main function is to capture and analyze network packets flowing through a network interface. It allows network administrators, security professionals, and developers to inspect the details of network traffic in real-time or from captured packet data. Wireshark provides a powerful toolset for diagnosing network issues, monitoring network performance, troubleshooting security incidents, and debugging network … Read more

The process of cloud migration involves several key steps to ensure a smooth transition of applications, data, and workloads from on-premises environments to cloud platforms. It typically includes: Assessment and Planning: Evaluating current IT infrastructure, applications, and dependencies to determine migration readiness. This step involves setting objectives, defining scope, identifying critical applications, and assessing risks. … Read more

Cloud storage works by storing data on remote servers accessed over the internet instead of local hard drives or storage devices. Users upload their files to a cloud storage provider, which manages and maintains the infrastructure to ensure data availability, redundancy, and security. Cloud storage services typically offer scalability, allowing users to increase or decrease … Read more
