The acronym for Domain Name System is DNS. It is a naming system that works hierarchically and is decentralized for computers, servers (web servers), services, resources, network devices and components that are present on large networks such as the public Internet.For example, in layman terms, it is a phonebook for ...

When a program present in one computer wants to request something from another program which is running on another computer in a different network, then the protocol that the program may use is called Remote Procedure Call.By using this protocol, the program doesn't have a need to know the network ...

Remote Procedure call (RPC) is the type of call which is used to access the programs from the network services.When a computer program is to access or need to be executed from another service network instead of sending and receiving from that network the call has been taken up by ... Read More

The reduction in the quality of service that occurs when a network node or a link carries more data than it can handle is called “Network Congestion”. The congestion in the network can lead to effects like packet loss or even blocking of new connections.Therefore, Congestion in networks can be ... Read More

The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a new transport protocol at the same layer as TCP and UDP. It provides functions for association management, sequence delivery, message chunk building, packet validation, and path management. SCTP is a new reliable, message-oriented transport layer protocol. It is mostly designed for Internet ... Read More

The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is a transport layer protocol defined for use with the IP network layer protocol. UDP does not provide any reliability.ExplanationLet us see the explanation of UDP in a stepwise manner.Step 1 − For example, it does not transmit any lost packets. Often, this is the ... Read More

Internet protocol version 6(IPv6) allows data transfer to take place over the network. The need for IPv6 arises as this protocol can handle the packets more efficiently which thereby improve the performance and security. Most importantly it enables the service providers to reduce the size of their routing tables.Representation of ... Read More

Load-sensitive routing algorithms have been integrated into the Internet routing algorithms since the early days of ARPANET. The drawback of this condition leads to overreaction to changing network conditions and permanent oscillation effects finally caused the idea of load-adaptive routing to be dropped for some decades.There is a tremendous growth ...

Dynamic routing is an adaptive routing algorithm, and it is a process where a router can forward data through a different route.The term is most associated with data networking to describe the capability of a network to 'route around' damage, such as loss of a node or a connection between ...
