AIAI or Artificial Intelligence is a science which deals with making machine intelligence. It utilizes image processing, cognitive science, neural systems, machine learning etc. AI enables machines to behave in a similar manner as human behaves in varying situations.Expert SystemExpert System is an application using AI to build a knowledge base and use that knowledge base to solve such problems where human experts are needed to solve the problem. An expert system can advise users on the problem and can provide an explanation of the solution which is required for the users.Following are some of the important differences between AI ...

GPS or Global Positioning System is a satellite-based navigation system developed in 1970 by the US Department of Defense. With time, it became a worldwide global utility and it is now used heavily from mobiles to cars for navigation purposes.Satellite Navigation System is a geospatial positioning system that employs satellites to enable autonomous positioning. It is built on a large network of artificial satellites in the medium-earth orbit that broadcast radio waves. Satellite Navigation Systems assist us in navigating unfamiliar roadways, whether by land, sea, or air.Read through this article to find out more about GPS and Satellite Navigation Systems ...

As an analogy, we can think of connection-oriented services as telephone systems, where a connection needs to be established between a sender and a receiver before they can exchange data. In contrast, connection-less services are like traditional postal systems where data exchange can take place between a sender and a receiver without establishing a connection. Go through this article to find out the major differences between connection-oriented and connection-less services. What is Connection-oriented Service? A connection-oriented service is a data transfer mechanism used at the session layer. In contrast to its opposite, connectionless service, connection-oriented service necessitates establishing a session ... Read More

Unshielded Twisted Pair or UTP are twisted pair cables that are used to transmit both data and voice, as their frequency range is suitable for transmission. UTPs are more cost-effective and are not needed to be grounded. Shielded Twisted Pair or STP are also a twisted pair cables but are required to be grounded, wants more maintenance, have high data transmission capacity and are costlier than UTP. Read through this article to find out more about UTP and STP cables and how they are different from each other. What are Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Cables? IBM invented shielded twisted pair ...

All these three protocols provide a mechanism for flow control. Read through this article to get a basic overview of Stop and Wait, Go-Back-N, and Selective Repeat protocols. Stop and Wait Protocol It is the most fundamental flow control strategy. The transmitter sends one frame at a time to the receiver using this method. The transmitter will come to a halt and wait for the receiver to respond. The interval between sending a message and receiving an acknowledgment is known as the sender's waiting time, and the sender is idle during this time. After receiving an acknowledgment (ACK), the ...

Static Routing or Non-Adaptive Routing follows user-defined routing. Here, the routing table is not changed until the network administrator changes it. Static Routing uses simple routing algorithms and provides more security than dynamic routing. Dynamic Routing or Adaptive Routing, as the name suggests, changes the routing table if there is any change in the network topology. During network change, dynamic routing sends a signal to router, recalculates the routes and sends the updated routing information. Read through this article to find out how Static Routing differs from Dynamic Routing. What is Static Routing? One of the essential techniques ... Read More

What is Topology?Network Topology is the way network links and nodes are connected with each other. The physical signal transmission medium is referred to as network topology. On the other hand, "logical network topology" refers to how the data flows through a network among the connected devices, regardless of their physical link.In this article, we will compare and contrast the different features of two network topologies − Ring Topology and Mesh Topology. Read through this article to find out how Ring Topology differs from Mesh Topology.What is Mesh Topology?A mesh network is a sort of local network structure that is ... Read More

Private Keys and Public Keys terms are used in cryptography. These keys are used to encrypt/decrypt sensitive data. Read through this article to find out more about private and public keys and how they are different from each other.What is Private Key?The private key is used in both encryption as well as decryption. This key is shared between the sender and receiver of the encrypted sensitive information. The private key is also called "symmetric" because it is shared by both parties. Private key cryptography is faster than public-key cryptography mechanism.A private key is generally a lengthy, non-guessable sequence of bits ... Read More

Optical fibre and Coaxial cables, both are different types of guided media cables. Optical fibre is made up of plastic and glass and is used to transmits signals in form of light or optics whereas coaxial cable is made using plastic and copper wires and is used to transmits signals in form of electric signals.The following are some of the important differences between Optical fibre and Coaxial cable.Sr. No.KeyOptical FibreCoaxial Cable1Transmission TypeOptical Fibre transmits data/signals in the form of light.The coaxial cable transmits data/signals in the form of electrical signals.2MaterialOptical fibre is made using plastic and glass.Coaxial cable is prepared ...
