What is broadcasting and Name a network connection device that relies on it and one that does not rely on it?
Broadcasting is when a packet is sent to all hosts, or all hosts on a subnet. When a broadcast packet is sent through a typical ethernet switch, all port lights will flicker as that packet is forwarded out every port. Other packets are inspected for their intended destination and then forwarded out the correct port. Two very necessary and prevalent protocols, DHCP and ARP, rely on broadcasting. This means a typical ethernet router/gateway device relies on broadcasts. A device that does not rely on broadcasts is an ethernet NIC.
Is an internet connection required for a home network and why?
No, a simple home network can be configured to share data and devices without connecting to the internet.
Why doesnt my mobile broadband work?
There is no broadband connection on mobile devices. You can only use WiFi or Data connection over mobiles network.
What device supports a notebook by adding ports network connectivity or connection to external devices?
data link port
What is the significance of the TCP FIN ACK in the process of terminating a connection between two network devices?
The TCP FIN ACK is a crucial step in ending a connection between two network devices. It signifies that one device has finished sending data and is ready to close the connection, while the other device acknowledges this request. This exchange ensures that both devices are in sync and can safely terminate the connection without any data loss or errors.
What e is a way of transferring that needs wires?
Ethernet is a type of wired connection used for transferring data between devices on a network. It involves the use of cables to create a physical connection between devices.
What device exist in between host devices?
Devices that exist between host devices are commonly referred to as network intermediaries. These include routers, switches, and hubs, which facilitate communication and data transfer between hosts in a network. Routers direct data packets between networks, switches connect devices within the same network, and hubs serve as simple connection points for multiple devices. Each of these devices plays a crucial role in ensuring efficient and effective network communication.
What is nearby devices dlna is it a sharing thing?
The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) involves data sharing service (media files). It uses a Wi-Fi connection network.
What the layer of hub?
The layer of hub refers to a networking component that connects multiple devices within a local area network (LAN). It operates at the physical layer of the OSI model, primarily functioning as a basic data distributor by broadcasting incoming data packets to all connected devices. Hubs are relatively simple devices and do not filter or manage traffic, which can lead to collisions and reduced network efficiency compared to more advanced devices like switches. While largely outdated, hubs were foundational in the evolution of network architecture.
How do network devices and transmit data?
Router
What is a non-unicast packet?
A non-unicast packet is a type of network packet that is not sent to a single specific destination address. Instead, it can be sent to multiple devices simultaneously, as seen in broadcasting (where packets are sent to all devices on a network) or multicasting (where packets are sent to a specific group of devices). This type of packet allows for more efficient use of network resources when the same data needs to be delivered to multiple recipients.
