In this article, we will understand the concept of the Traditional TCP. It is a wired network connection for communication. The Open System Interconnection (OSI) model has seven layers that include the functions of communication over any network. The OSI is considered one of the standard models for much network communication. In the Seven layers, TCP comes under the Fourth layer which is called the Transport layer. TCP/IP model was designed before the development of the OSI model. The TCP always comes along with the IP, the so-called TCP/IP. The main function of TCP/IP is transferring the data using the ...

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) are the network protocols that are used to prevent loops from forming in the topologies of networks with redundant links. The speed of convergence is the primary difference between the STP and RSTP network protocols. STP takes a while to converge; on the other hand, RSTP converges significantly more quickly. In addition, RSTP provides fresh ideas, which include point-to-point connectivity and edge ports that speed the convergence process. RSTP network protocols offer faster convergence than STP protocols, and it is a more effective method of preventing loops in networks with ... Read More

Introduction The Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART) protocol is a widely used communication standard in electronics and microcontroller systems. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the UART protocol, including its basic principles, data transmission mechanisms, configuration options, and common applications. What is UART? UART is a protocol that enables serial communication between two electronic devices. Microcontrollers and other embedded systems for data transmission and control use this protocol extensively. The protocol operates on a simple and efficient mechanism, where data is sent in a series of bits through a single transmission line. UART Basic Principles UART communication follows a ... Read More

You may be interested in learning more about Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) in Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM). One of the crucial elements in understanding WAP in GSM is knowing the bearer types used in this context. A bearer type is a means of carrying data between two points. In the case of WAP in GSM, there are two bearer types used, circuit-switched (CS) and packet-switched (PS). CS bearer types are established when a phone call is initiated, and data is transferred through the same channel as the voice call. This method is relatively slower, but it is more ... Read More

The Schiper Eggli Sandoz (SES) protocol, a storied and valiant champion of networking, has a mission to find the best path for data packets to traverse through the network. With a heart of a poet, it distributes the routing information to all routers in the network, rather than entrusting the task to a single central routing table. Such a noble and democratic approach results in more dynamic and efficient routing, as well as rapid recovery from network failures. The SES protocol, armed with the power of the Bellman-Ford algorithm and the cunning of split horizon, determines the shortest path for ... Read More

Routing protocols are used to determine the best path for data to travel through a network. They are responsible for maintaining and updating routing tables, which are used by routers to determine the best path for data to travel through a network. There are several different types of routing protocols, each with their own unique characteristics and uses. One of the most commonly used routing protocols is Poison Reverse. Poison Reverse is a technique used to prevent routing loops by marking a route as invalid if it is learned from a neighbor that is not the next hop. This technique ... Read More
