Multiple access protocols are generally used to coordinate access to link, here nodes can regulate their transmission onto the shared broadcast channels by using multiple access protocol, It is used on both wired and wireless LAN and satellite network.Multiple nodes can transmit frames at the same time, if so the ...

In wireless networks, a channel can be allocated between source and destination, and in between source and destination each router is connected to its neighbour router in peer to peer manner, the whole channel consists of a number of routers.So some of the channels are used for static routing and ...

Let us understand what error control in the computer networks is.Error ControlError control is concerned with ensuring that all frames are delivered to destination possibly in an order.To ensure the delivery it requires three items, which are explained below −AcknowledgementTypically, reliable delivery is achieved using the “acknowledgement with retransmission” paradigm, ...

Network layer is the third layer in the OSI model of computer networking. Packet forwarding including routing through routers and quality of service management are done by the network layer.Nature of the serviceThe transport layer at the host side receives the service provided by the network layer. But the transport ... Read More

Sliding window protocol is a transmission control protocol. To hold the outgoing and incoming packets both the sender and receiver maintains a finite buffer. Every packet sent from the sender side must be acknowledged by the receiver.The sender is maintaining a timer for every packet sent, and any unacknowledged packet ... Read More

In the Link - State Routing Protocol, the router attempts to construct its own internal map of the network topology. It provides the information about whether the link to reach the router is active or not.Every router will create something called Link state packets.In the first round every node creates ...

Network delay is defined as how much time will take a bit of data to travel from one node to another node.Network delay can be divided into following ways −Transmission delayPropagation delayLet us learn about both of them in detail.Transmission delayIt is the time required to put a packet’s bit ...

Traffic throttling is one of the approaches for congestion control. In the internet and other computer networks, senders trying to adjust the transmission need to send as much traffic as the network can readily deliver. In this setting the network aim is to operate just before the onset of congestion.There ... Read More

The presence of congestion means the load is greater than the resources available over a network to handle. Generally, we will get an idea to reduce the congestion by trying to increase the resources or decrease the load, but it is not that much of a good idea.There are some ... Read More
