An ACL in networking stands for Access Control List. It is a set of rules or configurations used to control network traffic by allowing or denying specific packets based on criteria such as source and destination IP addresses, protocols, ports, and other factors. ACLs are implemented on routers and switches to enforce security policies and … Read more
NAT (Network Address Translation) in DNS refers to the interaction between NAT and DNS services or configurations within a network. When NAT is employed, it translates private IP addresses of devices within a local network into public IP addresses when those devices communicate with external networks like the internet. DNS (Domain Name System), on the … Read more
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and FTP (File Transfer Protocol) serve different purposes in networking: TCP is a fundamental protocol in the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP). It provides reliable, ordered, and error-checked delivery of data between applications running on devices connected to a network. TCP establishes a connection-oriented communication channel that ensures data integrity and delivery … Read more
STP in social media refers to Segmentation, Targeting, and Positioning. It involves identifying distinct groups or segments of social media users, selecting specific segments to target with marketing campaigns, and positioning products or services to appeal to those targeted segments. This approach helps businesses tailor their social media strategies to effectively reach and engage their … Read more
Source Network Address Translation (SNAT) is a technique used in networking to modify the source IP address of outgoing packets. It allows multiple devices within a local network to share a single public IP address when communicating with external networks. SNAT is typically implemented in routers or firewalls to translate the private IP addresses of … Read more
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is primarily used for transmitting hypertext messages, such as HTML files, over the internet. It enables communication between clients (such as web browsers) and servers (where websites are hosted), allowing users to access web pages, download files, submit forms, and interact with online content. HTTP defines how messages are formatted and … 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
