Diff between static NAt and dynamic NAt?

Static NAT: Maps an unregistered IP address to a registered IP address on a one-to-one basis. Particularly useful when a device needs to be accessible from outside the network. Dynamic NAT: Maps an unregistered IP address to a registered IP address from a group of registered IP addresses. Dynamic NAT also establishes a one-to-one mapping between unregistered and registered IP address, but the mapping could vary depending on the registered address available in the pool, at the time of communication. Overloading: A form of dynamic NAT that maps multiple unregistered IP addresses to a single registered IP address by using different ports. Known also as PAT (Port Address Translation), single address NAT or port-level multiplexed NAT.


Explain the difference between a local name server and an authoritative name server?

A host's authoritative name server provides the "official" translation of a hostname to an IP address (among other things). A host's local name server is a proxy to the DNS system: the host first queries its local name server for a mapping; the local name server then obtains the mapping on the behalf of the querying host.

Which type of Network Address Translation allows a host on a public network consistent access to a specified private inside host?

There are three different types of NAT (Static, Dynamic, and Overloading). The one you're most likely talking about is static NAT. It provides a one to one mapping.


What are the difference among direct mapping associative mapping and set associative mapping?

The differences among direct mapping and set-associative mapping :Direct mapping : Each line in main memory maps onto a single cache line.Set-associative : Each line in main memory maps onto a small (collection) set of cache line.Direct mapping : A memory block is mapped into a unique cache line, depending on the memory address of the respective block.Set-associative : A memory block is mapped into any of the line of a set. The set is determined by the memory address, but the line inside the set can be any one.dont knowyet

What is the reason for ARP cache to be emptied after a few minutes of inactivity with a host and why is it beneficial?

An ARP cache holds dynamic network and mapping information. Delaying the clearing of this cache is that dynamic information or processes can be left in limbo and become non-removable after a period of time.
