Difference between Circuit switching and Message switching
Circuit switching and Message switching are both telecommunication techniques that are used to transfer data from a source to a destination with minimal loss in transmission.Circuit switching is a way of constructing a dedicated network in which two network nodes create a dedicated communications channel before connecting. In message switching, the source and destination nodes are not connected; the intermediate nodes are in charge of data transfer.Read through this article to find out more about Circuit switching and Message switching and how they are different from each other.What is Circuit Switching?In circuit switching, networks create dedicated transmission channels. While other ...
Read MoreDifference between Workstation and Server.
A workstation is a computer which is used to access LAN or Internet to get access to documents or perform a task, whereas a server is a software which responds to services requested by a client. Read through this article to know more about workstations and servers and how they are different from each other. What is a Server? A server is a computer, a device, or a program entirely responsible for managing network resources. Servers are called so because they provide the functionality to a "client, " another computer, device, or application. In theory, computers are considered servers ...
Read MoreDifference between Batch Processing and Stream Processing
Computer systems have been handling data since decades, but the volume and speed of handling has become phenomenal in the last few years. Data processing means "the collection and manipulation of items of data to produce meaningful information", has been evolving in terms of speed, efficiency, and leveraging the computing resources, till date. In this article, we will see two important techniques of data processing in the field of computation − Batch processing and Stream processing. We will elaborate them in detail and see how they are different. What is Batch Processing? Batch processing is technique of processing large amount ...
Read MoreDifference between Baseband and Broadband Transmission
Data transmission has been crucial in the age of digital communication. Either digital or analogue data can be transmitted over a communication medium to one or more devices, depending on the interfaces in use. There are two important types of data transmission − Baseband and Broadband. Read through this article to understand each type of transmission and the differences between them. What is Baseband Transmission? It is a transmission technology where a single signal is either sent or received through a communication channel such as a cable, in the form of discrete pulses of the single frequency. The frequency of ...
Read MoreDifference between site to site VPN and remote access VPN
Both Site-to-Site VPN and Remote Access VPN are types of virtual private networks used primarily for transferring data and accessing a machine from a remote location under a secure network which acts as a private network across the machines.In this article, we will differentiate Site-to-Site VPN and Remote Access VPN based on their features. Let's start with an overview of VPN and the role it plays.What is a VPN?A Virtual Private Network (VPN) connects users' computers to a private network across a public network, enabling them to receive and send data as if they were physically attached to the private ...
Read MoreDifference between BlueTooth and UWB
Both Bluetooth and UWB are wireless technologies that are widely used to send and receive data wirelessly using radio signals. Bluetooth is a wireless technology that is used to connect devices in short range, whereas UWB is wireless network technology that can carry an extensive range of frequency bands while using very little power.Go through this article to find out more about the features of Bluetooth and UWB and how they are different from each other.What is Bluetooth?Bluetooth was created under the IEEE 802.15.1 standard, which is used for wireless communication via radio transmissions. Bluetooth was first introduced in 1994 ...
Read MoreDifference between BlueTooth and Zigbee
Both Bluetooth and ZigBee are wireless technologies that are widely used to send and receive data wirelessly using radio signals. Bluetooth is a wireless technology that is used to connect devices in short range, whereas ZigBee is wireless technology standard for personal area networks that uses low-power digital radio waves.Go through this article to find out more about the features of Bluetooth and ZigBee and how they are different from each other.What is Bluetooth?Bluetooth was created under the IEEE 802.15.1 standard, which is used for wireless communication via radio transmissions. Bluetooth was first introduced in 1994 as a wireless replacement ...
Read MoreDifference between Ethernet and LAN
A LAN is a computer network that is limited to a particular geographic area. Ethernet, the other hand, is a LAN network standard used in wired LAN. Go through this article to find out more about the features of Ethernet and LAN and how they are different from each other.What is Ethernet?Ethernet is a widely used LAN standard. Ethernet refers to networking technologies and systems used in local area networks (LANs) to connect computers inside a single physical space. It is defined under IEEE 802.3 standards. It is very easy to understand, implement, maintain and is a low-cost implementation. It ...
Read MoreDifference Between Go-Back-N and Selective Repeat Protocol
Go-Back-N is a data link layer protocol that uses a sliding window method for reliable and sequential delivery of data frames. It is a case of sliding window protocol having to send window size of N and receiving window size of 1.Selective Repeat Protocol is also a data link layer protocol that uses sliding window method for reliable delivery of data frames. Here, only the erroneous or lost frames are retransmitted, while the good frames are received and buffered.Read through this article to find out how these two data link layer protocols work and what are the major differences between ...
Read MoreDifference between stateless and stateful protocols
A stateless protocol is one in which each communication is treated as a separate event, unrelated to other communications of the same type.A stateful protocol, on the other hand, is the polar opposite of a stateless protocol, in which each communication is treated as part of a broader sequence.Read through this article to find out more about stateless and stateful protocols and how they are different from each other.What is Stateful Protocol?In Stateful Protocol, when a client sends a request to the server, it expects a response; it resends the request if it does not receive one.Stateful applications and procedures ...
