Difference between TCP and UDP

1-TCP converts upper layer data in to segments and the segments are numbered and sequenced so that the destination TCP can place them in the same order, and can easily detect a missing segment. But in UDP data is broken in to segments and the segments are numbered but not sequenced. 2-TCP is connection oriented because it creates a virtual circuit between the source and destination before sending data. But UDP does not create any virtual circuit before sending data. 3-TCP uses acknowledgement to resent missing segments, but there is no acknowledgement in UDP. 4-So we can say TCP provide reliable communication but UDP provides unreliable communication. 5-Since TCP is creating virtual circuits, TCP is costly in terms of bandwidth. But UDP has low overhead

Difference between Router-Switch-Hub-Bridge

Hubs work at the Physical layer. A hub is a totally dumb device. If it gets a data signal, it just forwards the signal to all devices. It cannot do any kind of filtering or addressing. Performance is not so good because a hub can't establish a direct connection from one computer to another. If a switch gets a data packet, it will try and find the destination device, and then send it to that device only, i.e. it establishes a point-to-point connection between the sending and receiving devices. But the devices must be on the same subnet. A switch won’t send data packet to computers on different subnets. A switch breaks up collision domains but it does not break up broadcast domains unless we use VLANs. Like Switches, Bridges operate at the Data Link layer and filter packets based on the MAC address. Generally bridges are used to extend the distance capabilities of the network while minimizing overall traffic, and switches are used mainly fo

 Arfa Karim Fights For Life After a Heart Attack Arfa Karim, 16, who became world’s youngest Microsoft Certified Professional in 2004 is suffering from a serious medical condition after a heart attack on December 28, 2011. She’s still not in senses and her condition is further deteriorating. Doctors say they are doing their best but there aren’t much hopes as the condition is really critical and she’s still on machines. Her father has appealed for the prayers. She was an asset not only to her family and Pakistan, but also to the world. P.S media coverage isn’t allowed by the family right now, that’s why you won’t find updates on media probably.

3 Types of Ethernet cable are used in Networking 1-Straight through Cable 2-Cross Over Cable 3-Roll over cable Straight through cable, Cross over Cables are used for data transfer While Rollover cable is used to configure routers / switches / network devices. To remember which type of cable you should use, follow these tips:  To connect two serial interfaces of 2 routers we use serial cable .   To specify when we use crossover cable or straight-through cable, we should remember: Group 1: Router, Host, Server Group 2: Hub, Switch One device in group 1 + One device in group 2: use straight-through cable Two devices in the same group: use crossover cable For example: we use straight-through cable to connect switch to router, switch to host, hub to host, hub to server… and we use crossover cable to connect switch to switch, switch to hub, router to router, host to host HOW TO MAKE A NETWORK CABLE: 1. Unroll the required length of network cable and add a little extra wire, j
