VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is used for transmitting voice and multimedia content over IP networks, such as the internet. It allows users to make phone calls, video calls, and multimedia sessions using internet-connected devices instead of traditional telephone networks. VoIP is particularly useful in scenarios where cost-effective communication solutions are needed, especially for long-distance … Read more
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a network protocol used to automatically assign IP addresses and other network configuration settings to devices within a network. It simplifies the process of IP address management by eliminating the need for manual configuration, allowing devices to join and operate on a network seamlessly. DHCP servers maintain a pool … Read more
Three protocols that commonly use UDP (User Datagram Protocol) include: DNS (Domain Name System): UDP is used for DNS queries and responses, where speed and simplicity are prioritized over reliability. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol): DHCP uses UDP for client-server communication during IP address allocation and configuration. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol): SNMP utilizes UDP … Read more
Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard used for exchanging data over short distances between devices. It operates on the 2.4 GHz ISM (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) band and enables devices such as smartphones, tablets, computers, and peripherals to communicate wirelessly. Bluetooth, in short, is a wireless communication technology that allows devices to connect and exchange … Read more
The DNS (Domain Name System) protocol is a fundamental component of the internet and networking that translates domain names (like www.example.com) into IP addresses (like 192.0.2.1) and vice versa. It operates as a distributed hierarchical database, distributing the workload of name resolution across a global network of DNS servers. The DNS protocol enables users to … Read more
UDP (User Datagram Protocol) and TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) are two transport layer protocols used for transmitting data over networks, each with distinct characteristics and use cases: UDP is a connectionless protocol that operates on top of IP (Internet Protocol). It is designed for fast and efficient communication where reliability and ordered delivery of data … Read more
Ethernet protocol refers to the set of rules and standards governing the physical and data link layers of the Ethernet network. It defines how devices in a local area network (LAN) communicate with each other using Ethernet frames. This includes specifications for data encoding, framing, addressing (MAC addresses), collision detection, and network topology. The term … Read more
DNS (Domain Name System) is used primarily for translating human-readable domain names (like www.example.com) into numerical IP addresses (like 192.0.2.1) that computers use to identify and communicate with each other on the internet or private networks. It serves as a distributed hierarchical naming system that facilitates the resolution of domain names to IP addresses across … Read more
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is best used for applications and services that require reliable, ordered, and error-checked delivery of data across networks. It establishes a connection-oriented communication between two endpoints and ensures that data is delivered accurately and in the correct sequence. TCP is particularly suited for: Web browsing: TCP is extensively used for HTTP … Read more
An access point is a device that allows wireless devices to connect to a wired network using Wi-Fi. It acts as a central transmitter and receiver of wireless radio signals, enabling devices such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets to join a network without requiring physical cables. Access points are primarily used to extend the reach … Read more
