SFTP, or SSH File Transfer Protocol, is a secure method for transferring files between computers over a network. It operates over an SSH (Secure Shell) connection, providing encryption of both commands and data transmitted during file transfers. SFTP is used to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of file transfers, making it suitable for transferring sensitive … Read more
ARP command resolves IP addresses to MAC addresses on a local network. ARP is used to establish communication between devices on the same network segment by mapping IP addresses to MAC addresses. You would use the ARP command to troubleshoot network connectivity issues, verify ARP table entries, or clear ARP cache. The “show ARP” command … Read more
ARP, or Address Resolution Protocol, is a network protocol used to map an IP address to a physical MAC address on a local network segment. The purpose of ARP is to facilitate communication between devices within the same network by resolving IP addresses to MAC addresses, which are essential for data transmission at the data … Read more
MPLS, or Multi-Protocol Label Switching, is a networking technology used to efficiently direct data packets along a network using labels. These labels replace traditional IP routing tables, enabling faster and more scalable packet forwarding based on label information rather than IP addresses. MPLS works by assigning labels to data packets at the ingress router when … Read more
SCTP, or Stream Control Transmission Protocol, is a transport layer protocol like TCP, designed for reliable and ordered delivery of data. It supports multiple streams of data within a single connection, providing features like message framing, congestion control, and error detection. Unlike TCP, SCTP can transmit multiple streams of data simultaneously within a single connection, … Read more
Wi-Fi at home refers to the wireless technology that allows devices within a household to connect to a local area network (LAN) without the need for physical cables. It enables devices like smartphones, laptops, tablets, smart TVs, and other smart devices to communicate with each other and access resources such as printers, shared files, and … Read more
An SCTP network refers to a network environment where the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is used as the transport layer protocol. SCTP provides reliable, connection-oriented communication between network endpoints, offering features like multi-streaming, message-oriented data transmission, and support for multi-homing. It is designed to address the limitations of TCP and UDP in scenarios requiring … Read more
NTP, or Network Time Protocol, is a protocol used to synchronize the clocks of computers and network devices to a reference time source. It ensures that all devices on a network maintain accurate and synchronized time, crucial for applications that depend on coordinated timing, such as logging events, authentication, and transaction sequencing. NTP works by … Read more
An access point (AP) is used to provide wireless connectivity to devices within its coverage area by connecting them to a wired network. It serves as a bridge between wired and wireless networks, allowing devices like laptops, smartphones, and tablets to access network resources such as the internet, file servers, and printers without requiring physical … Read more
Bluetooth refers to a wireless technology standard used for short-range communication between devices. It allows devices to exchange data and communicate wirelessly over short distances, typically up to 10 meters (30 feet), without requiring a direct line of sight. Bluetooth is commonly used for connecting devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, headphones, speakers, and smart … Read more
