NAS stands for Network Attached Storage. It is storage devices that are linked to a network and support file access services to computer systems. These devices generally include an engine that implements the file services and one or more devices on which data is stored. NAS uses file access protocols, ... Read More

DIMM represents the "Dual In-Line Memory Module" and is a limited circuit board that manages memory chips. It needs a 64-bit bus to the memory, whereas a single in-line memory module (SIMM) only has a 32-bit path. This allows DIMMs to transfer more information at once.DIMM includes a sequence of ...

Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) is a network-specific standard protocol. It is described in RFC 903. Some network hosts, such as a diskless workstation, do not know their own IP address when they are booted. To determine their own IP address, they use a mechanism similar to ARP, but now ...

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a network-specific standard protocol. The Address Resolution Protocol is important for changing the higher-level protocol address (IP addresses) to physical network addresses. It is described in RFC 826.ARP relates an IP address with the physical address. On a typical physical network such as LAN, each ... Read More

Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) is a technology that transmits multiple signals simultaneously over a single transmission path, such as cable or wireless system. Each carrier is modulated by the data such as text, voice, video etc. Orthogonal FDM spread spectrum technique distributes the data over a large number of carriers ... Read More
