Introduction Networks are becoming more complex and demanding as the number of devices and applications increases. In order to ensure efficient communication, network engineers must utilize protocols that can handle Vlans, redundancy, and load balancing. One protocol that serves this purpose is MSTP. It is an extension of the STP (Spanning tree protocol), which assists […]
Read MoreIntroduction The Internet has changed the way we communicate, access information, and share data. With the help of the Internet, one can connect with people as well as devices all over the world, regardless of physical distance or location. But the question that arises now is, how do devices identify each other and communicate? The […]
Read MoreIntroduction As technology advances, so does the reliance of businesses on digital services and networks. We all are either directly or indirectly dependent on the security and integrity of online systems in order to protect personal data as well as business operations. Cybersecurity is of utmost importance nowadays, as we all know that cyberattacks can […]
Read MoreIntroduction IS-IS is a link-state routing protocol that allows the efficient transmission of data in large and complex networks. Now, many network enthusiasts have heard of the term routing protocol, which is a set of rules and algorithms. Routing protocols are utilized by network devices to determine the best path for sending the data between […]
Read MoreIntroduction Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the routing protocol utilized for exchanging network reachability information between AS (Autonomous System) on the Internet. BGP facilitates the advertisement of its own network prefixes by each AS. This allows them to gain knowledge about prefixes of other ASes thereby ensuring end-to-end connectivity across the global network. An essential […]
Read MoreIntroduction A wide range of newly developed network applications need packets to be sent from one or more senders to several receivers. These include shared data applications, data feeds (like stock quotes), interactive gaming (like distributed multiplayer games like CSGO), streaming continuous media (like the transfer of the audio, video, and text of a live […]
Read MoreIntroduction Computer networks play a vital role in allowing communication, data sharing, and resource utilization across devices. Within these networks, network topologies define how devices are interconnected. Various types of network topologies exist, such as point-to-point, mesh, star, ring, tree, and hybrid. Each topology has its own advantages and disadvantages. In this blog post, we […]
Read MoreIntroduction An access point, also known as AP, serves as a bridge between wireless networks and enables wireless devices to connect. It acts as a gateway that allows internet access and grants users connectivity to network resources. In this blog, we will discuss the topic of “access points”. We will look into its definition, its […]
Read MoreIntroduction OSPF, also known as Open Shortest Path First, is a routing protocol that utilizes link state information to determine the efficient paths between routers within a network. OSPF divides networks into units called areas, which are logical groupings of OSPF networks, routers, and links that share the same area identification. One advantage of utilizing […]
Read MoreIntroduction If Someone is interested in networking, they must have heard the term Proxy ARP. But what does it really mean, and how does it work? Proxy ARP is a technique that allows a device to respond to the ARP requests on behalf of another device. This can be useful in situations where the devices […]
Read MoreIntroduction Cybersecurity is the method of protecting networks, systems, devices, and information from cyberattacks. It is crucial in the digital world, as cyber threats are continuously evolving, and as a result, it can affect the integrity of data. Cyber security is not only critical for individuals and agencies but also for the nation as a […]
Read MoreIntroduction Anyone who has worked with networking devices, such as routers and switches, may have heard of the term wildcard mask. A wildcard mask is a way of specifying a range of IP addresses for different purposes, some of which are access control lists, rioting protocols such as OSPF, and network address translation. But the […]
