A network socket is a software component within a computer network node that acts as an endpoint for delivering and receiving data. An application programming interface (API) for the networking architecture defines the structure and properties of a socket. Sockets are only produced over the lifespan of a process in a node-based application.Because the TCP/IP protocols were standardized during the creation of the Internet, the word "network socket" is most often used in the context of the Internet Protocol suite, and it is hence referred to as an "Internet Socket". In this context, a socket's address, which is the triad ... Read More

Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) is a routing protocol developed by Cisco Systems in 1994 that allows a wide range of network-layer protocols to be contained inside virtual point-to-point or point-tomultipoint links over an Internet Protocol network. Protocol encapsulation, not GRE specifically, breaks the layering sequence, according to the OSI principles of protocol layering.GRE can be thought of as a barrier between two protocol stacks, one of which serves as a carrier for the other. IP protocol type 47 is used for GRE packets enclosed within IP. It is a tunnelling protocol and is defined by RFC 2784. GRE provides both ... Read More

IEEE 802.3 StandardThe IEEE 802.3 standard is popularly called as Ethernet or CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detect). Ethernet is a LAN architecture developed by XEROX and extended by DEC, IC and Xerox. It is specified by IEEE 802.3, and it defines two categories such as Baseband and Broadband.Standard Ethernet network facilitates CSMA/CD. When a station needs to send, it listens to the wire. If the wire is busy, the station waits just before it goes idle, otherwise, it sends directly.If two or more stations together begin sending on an idle cable, they will collide. All colliding stations then remove ... Read More

GSMGSM stands for Global System for Mobile Communication. It is a digital mobile communication standard, which is used for transmitting and receiving data and voice signals over a network. It is also known as the second-generation standard for mobile networks or telecommunication, and it operates on a wedge spectrum.GSM needs the Subscribers Identity Module (SIM) card as its main component. This is therefore because each device in the network holds its own specific SIM card. Therefore the multiple subscribers of the GSM technology are prominent by SIM. Still, any time the user can change from one SIM card to another ... Read More

CDMA stands for Code Division Multiple Access. It is a channel access method which is used by several radio communication technologies. It is a digital cellular technology and an example of multiple access. It is generally used for mobile communication.Multiple access means that several transmitters can send information simultaneously over a single communication channel. In this system, different CDMA codes are assigned to different users, and the user can access the whole bandwidth for the entire duration. It optimizes the use of available bandwidth as it transmits over the entire frequency range and does not limit the user's frequency range.Thus, ... Read More

NASNAS stands for Network Attached Storage. It is storage devices that are linked to a network and provide file access services to computer systems. These devices generally include an engine that executes the file services and one or more devices on which data is stored. NAS uses file access protocols, including NFS or CIFS.NAS provides good access controls and security to support collaboration while also enabling someone who is not an IT professional to administer and manage access to the data via an on-board web server.It is created for those network systems, which can be processing thousands of operations per ...

These devices generally include an engine that executes the file services and one or more devices on which data is stored. NAS uses file access protocols such as NFS or CIFS.NAS storage frequently has a lower startup cost because the current network can be used. This can be very engaging to small-to-medium size businesses. There are multiple protocols that can be used for file sending including NFS for UNIX clients and CIF for Windows clients. Most NAS ...
