Computer Networking
Computer networks are collections of computers which are connected together in order to communicate and transfer information. Questions about computer networks, networking protocols, and how to set them up belong here.

What is known as the access point device that also functions as a point coordinator?
In Priority-Based Access, the access point device also functions as a point coordinator
How do you simultaneosly connect two computers to internet using a router and broadband modem?
Plug the two computers in to the router, and connect the router to the modem.
The router may have two kinds of ports, one port marked WAN (Wide Area Network) and several ports marked LAN (Local Area Network). If so, the WAN port goes to the modem and the LAN ports are for your computers.
That's it.
Peer-to-peer is one of the network communication models whereby each of the nodes involved has equal rights and capabilities to initiate a communication session. One can implement this model in a torrent network.
An ARM port refers to a software or application adaptation for devices powered by ARM architecture, which is widely used in mobile devices and embedded systems due to its energy efficiency and performance. Porting involves modifying the codebase to ensure compatibility with ARM processors, allowing software to run effectively on ARM-based platforms. This process may include optimizing for specific features of ARM architecture, such as its instruction set and hardware capabilities.
Computer Networking Questions?
An example for computer networking question is: how many digits of the DNIC identify the country? Another asks for how many routing algorithms are used.
What is peer to peer network is also known as what type of network?
A workgroup is one name for a peer-to-peer network.
What is the difference between a protocol and a procedure?
Protocol is an original draft of a document or rules governing affairs of occasions. A procedure is something specific that has to be followed.
Dose STP or UTD provide more resistance to outside interference?
That would be STP versus UTP. STP provides more protection from interference, due to the shielding. "S" stands for "shielded" in this case. "U" means "Unshielded".

What is replacing Asynchronous Transfer Mode?
Difficult.
For many applications, MPLS (Multi-protocol label switching) is taking the place of ATM.
For some applications, straight IP over higher bandwidth links is doing some of the jobs previously reserved for ATM.
A Subnet Mask.
Which four are WAN data-link layer protocols?
The most common WAN data-link protocols are:
1. HDLC 2. PPP
3. Frame Relay
4. ATM
How do you turn a Linksys WRT54G router into a switch?
HOW DO YOU TURN ON A LINKSYS WRT54G WIRELESS ROUTER
AnswerThose devices already have built-in switches. The 4 ports that are not labeled "WAN" provide a switching domain between them. You can simply ignore the routing functionality and use it as a switch. If you really need to go the extra mile, you can disable DHCP and assign the WAN interface a bogus IP address, or simply put the LAN interface IP address on a different subnet than your computers will actually be using.
If that above does not answer your question, describing more about what you are trying to do will help. Such as, do you already have a router and you only want another router to serve as hub or switch.
What is the difference between a hub and a switch?
A hub is a multiport repeater of broadcast information (it receives on any port) to all ports hence is called non-intelligent or dumb. A hub repeats a message to all the nodes connected to its ports.
Hubs translate any signal from one PC to all others in the same network. Switches translate from one PC only to a certain PC, not to all of them as is the case with hubs.
HUB works on Physical layer whereas SWITCH works on data link layer, HUB based networks are on one collision domain, whereas in Switch-based networks, a switch divides networks into multiple collision domains. Switch also maintains MAC address tables.
A Simple Simile
Hub - Think of a postman with a letter to deliver in a row of houses, none of the houses have numbers so he has to visit each house and ask the owner if the letter is for them.
Switch - All the houses are numbered, so the postman knows where to go, and doesn't have to bother any other homeowners.
That is the reason a HUB is called a Dumb Device (or Dumb Postman).
How do you make date and time constant in PC even after shutdown and restart without battery?
resync to network time server.
What is systems and procedures in general?
For any / every work there must be a systems & Procedures for its success / destiny.
To fix up the Rules & regulation to follow the systems.
To fix up the policies to follow the Procedures.
Where the Policies , systems, procedures for the process of any given task.
What do bridges and switches use to make data forwarding decision?
Bridges and switches use MAC (Media Access Control) addresses to make data forwarding decisions. When a frame is received, they examine the destination MAC address and consult their MAC address table, which maps MAC addresses to specific ports. If the address is found, the device forwards the frame to the corresponding port; if not, it typically broadcasts the frame to all ports except the one it was received on. This process helps efficiently direct data traffic within a local area network.
