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
The use of SSH (Secure Shell) connection is primarily for secure remote access and management of devices or servers over an unsecured network, such as the internet. It provides encrypted communication between the client and the server, ensuring confidentiality and integrity of data transmitted over the network. SSH is widely used for tasks like remote … Read more
Ethernet and Wi-Fi are two different technologies used for networking and connecting devices to the internet. Ethernet involves physical cables (Ethernet cables) that connect devices directly to a network router or switch using Ethernet ports. It provides reliable, stable, and typically faster internet speeds compared to Wi-Fi, making it ideal for devices that require consistent … Read more
The best use of RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) is for remote access and management of Windows-based computers or servers. It allows users to connect to a remote desktop session on a Windows system from another computer or device over a network connection. This capability is particularly useful for IT administrators, support personnel, or individuals needing … Read more
Ethernet is a networking technology that uses physical cables to connect devices within a local area network (LAN). It provides a reliable and stable connection for data transmission between devices such as computers, printers, and routers. Ethernet is widely used in homes, offices, and data centers to establish wired networks that offer high-speed internet access, … Read more
The RDP port, specifically port 3389, is used for establishing remote desktop connections to Windows-based systems over a network. It facilitates communication between an RDP client (such as Remote Desktop Connection software) and an RDP server (typically running on a Windows operating system). This port is designated for RDP traffic to ensure that remote desktop … Read more
TFTP, or Trivial File Transfer Protocol, operates over UDP (User Datagram Protocol), which is a connectionless transport layer protocol. Unlike TCP, which provides reliable, connection-oriented communication, UDP is simpler and faster but does not guarantee delivery or order of packets. TFTP uses UDP for transferring files between clients and servers in network environments where simplicity … Read more
