Understanding SSL and Cloud Security Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption is a widespread way for securing data. Is SSL, however, actually sufficient to offer full cloud security? SSL, or Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that is used to establish an encrypted link between a web server and a web browser in order to safeguard data in transit; when it comes to cloud security, SSL is critical in encrypting sensitive data transfer. What is SSL, and how does it function in terms of cloud security? SSL, or Secure Sockets Layer, is a security protocol that encrypts data transmitted ... Read More

Introduction In today's interconnected world, Low-Power and Lossy Networks (LLNs) play a crucial role in enabling efficient communication for devices in resource-constrained environments. The IPv6 Routing Protocol for LLNs (RPL), provides an optimized solution to address these unique challenges. Understanding IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (LLNs) LLNs, which are networks consisting of devices with limited power and connectivity, require a specialized routing protocol such as the IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) to effectively handle multipoint-to-point traffic. Definition and Purpose of RPL The IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks (LLNs), sometimes known ... Read More

Introduction In the ever-evolving world of networking technologies, IPv6 has become the forefront solution to address scalability and connectivity concerns. One crucial component in this shift is ISATAP or Intra Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol. This powerful protocol serves as a bridge between IPv4 networks and their future IPv6 counterparts, offering an efficient, cost-effective, and secure way to transition. Curious about how it works and its potential impact on modern networking? Keep reading for a comprehensive dive into ISATAP's functions, benefits, implementation process, and more! Understanding ISATAP and its Functionality ISATAP is a protocol that enables communication between IPv6 hosts ... Read More

Introduction to IPv6 Fragmentation Header The evolution of the Internet has brought forth significant changes in how data is transmitted across networks. One such advancement is the introduction of IPv6 Fragmentation Header, which plays a crucial role in optimizing packet delivery and reducing network congestion. Understanding IPv6 Fragmentation and the Importance of The Header IPv6 fragmentation is an essential aspect of the network protocol and utilizes a fragmentation header to achieve efficient packet delivery, reduce network congestion, and address the differences between IPv4 and IPv6 fragmentation. Differences between IPv4 and IPv6 Fragmentation One major difference between IPv4 and IPv6 fragmentation ... Read More

Understanding IPv6 and DNSSEC IPv6 and DNSSEC are important technologies for the internet's future development as they address several limitations faced by IPv4, such as a limited number of IP addresses, security concerns, and integration issues. The Importance of IPv6 and DNSSEC IPv4's limited address space has become insufficient for the ever-growing number of devices connected to the internet. IPv6 addresses this problem by providing a virtually infinite pool of IP addresses. Adopting IPv6 enables more efficient routing for data packets across networks, which is essential for business growth, innovation, and global connectivity. DNSSEC plays an important role in securing ... Read More

Understanding IPv4 and IPv6 Geolocation There are some important variations in how IPv4 and IPv6 Geolocation work when determining the precise location of a device using its associated IP address. Differences Between IPv4 and IPv6 Geolocation The amount of IP addresses that may be used is a significant distinction between IPv4 and IPv6 geolocation. IPv4, the older protocol, has a limited capacity of roughly 4.3 billion unique IP addresses. In contrast, IPv6 offers a substantially larger pool with approximately 340 undecillion (that's 36 zeroes!) unique addresses. This increase in available IPs not only helps reduce address exhaustion but also enhances ... Read More

The Cisco Discovery Protocol is a proprietary protocol of the Cisco System. Cisco discovery protocol is a datalink layer of layer 2 discovery protocol. It provides access to media and physical addressing The main focus is to share directly connected equipment information such as IP address and operating system version to neighbors. The On-demand Routing propagates the IP prefix through the CDP protocol. It determines the data transmission format and control of network access. Link Layer Discovery Protocol is a standard protocol whereas Cisco Discovery Protocol is owned by Cisco System. The CDP supports the IEEE 8021ab version of LLDP. ... Read More

In a computer network, physical devices are used to communicate from one to another. These devices are also called Network Hardware. The primary functions in computer networks are Connectivity and controlling of the network traffic. The network can be expanded or separated using network devices. A network device to regenerate incoming signal before retransmission to the receiver over a distance in the OSI model is known as Bridge. Gateway is a node to connect two disparate networks using two different protocols. What is Bridge? A network unit in which the connection of two different LANs in the same protocol is ... Read More

The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) features AS Override and Allowas In is used to control how BGP routing information is communicated between Autonomous Systems (AS). A routing protocol called Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is used to communicate routing data between different autonomous systems (AS) over the Internet. Network administrators can use many BGP features to regulate the exchange and advertisement of routing information between ASes. AS Override and Allowas In are two such operations. This article explains both and their differences. AS Override AS Override could be a BGP setup alternative that permits a border switch in one AS to ... Read More

The Word Aloha generally means Hello in the Japanese Language. It works under the MAC layer of the OSI model. Multiple access protocol is a set of protocols that are used for avoiding cross-talks and to have an efficient transmission. When the data is transmitted between hosts that do not have any particular channel, then there may be high chances of data collision and crosstalk. In that case, ALOHA which is a Random Access Protocol is used to get more efficiency. ALOHA in Computer System ALOHA is a multiple-access protocol. Using this protocol, any number of data streams from different ... Read More
