Internet Protocol (IP)

What is Internet Protocol (IP)?

The internet protocol is a set of rules by which data sent from source computer to destination computer over internet. The data that traveled across the internet is divided into smaller pieces called packets. The internet protocols information is attached to each packet. Based on IP addresses in the packet headers, it delivers the packets from the source host to the destination host, then internet protocols defines the packet structure that encapsulates the data to be delivered.

Each computer (or host) that connects to the internet has unique IP address that identifies from all other computers on the internet. Therefore the transport protocols is used in combination with internet protocols, the most common transport protocols are TCP and UDP. The original Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) was introduced by Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn in 1974. The first major version of the internet protocols is Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) is the dominant protocols of the Internet and its successor is Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6).

What is IP Address?

IP address is a unique identifier address assigned to host, each IP address contains series of characters, for example 172.16.1.1. Therefore it connects with the browser via the internet to provide information to the users. IP address translates into human-readable domain names via DNS which the users can access websites without memorizing series of characters. The internet protocols packet will contains both the IP address of the sender host and receiver host.Error! Filename not specified.

Interconnecting Devices

Interconnecting Devices An Interconnecting devices is a network device. It used to transfer data from one computer to other computer with the help of network devices. There are five categories of interconnecting devices are such as. Router Hubs Switches/Bridge Repeater BRouter Repeater: Now I am going to tell you the repeater is an electronic device that used to receive and send a signal. It amplifies the signal and noise. It provides transmission of the signal. HUB (Hyper User Bus): In this, it used to link several computers in the same network. It based on broadcasting, and it sends the data to all computers and repeats the signal which receives a signal from one port and copies to other port and traffic are high. Bridge / Switch: In this, we can see the interconnecting devices which can divide a single network into two or more segment are called Bridge / Switch. It has multiple ports like 2, 4, 16, and 32. The Switch main...

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

What is Virtual Private Network (VPN)? A virtual private network (VPN) is a secure connection between two private networks over a public network (in other words, over the Internet). All the data that flows over the VPN is encrypted. So anyone who steals packets from the VPN will find them unintelligible; only the parties on either end of the VPN are able to decrypt the packets. VPN connections are often called tunnels. Because they provide an isolated pathway from one point to another through the Internet. The only way to gain meaningful access to a VPN tunnel is at either end. Example for VPN Connections VPNs are used for There are two common uses for VPNs: To provide remote workers with secure access to your company network: To do that, you set up a VPN on the router, and then provide your remote workers with the credentials necessary to access the VPN. The remote workers can run a software VPN client on their home computers or laptops to connec...

Most of the printers are used to print emails, documents, files, images, color photos, color documents, color posts, banners, advertisement posters, etc,. There are the following 5 types of printers such as dot matrix printer, inkjet printer, laser printer, dye-sublimation printer, and plotter printer this are all the printer which uses nowadays for a printing purpose. A printer is characterized by the followin...
