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.

Why is a large busy network more likely to use DHCP?

Because static routing requires someone to manual create a routing table for every subnet on the large network and the larger the network the bigger the margin of error in the routing tables

larger network also change more, more subnets are added ip are changes every time a router IP is changed or a new router is added a routing table need to be added to that router and the routing tables on other routers need to be modified so the other router know how to communicate with the new router

whereas dynamic routing learns the routes for its self saving human error and manpower

Where is bx cable used?

Burger king (bk) used in cctv, lcd,plasma, networking,in digi-key,etc..

What are security products required in networking?

Sensitive information that is transmitted between two wireless devices can be intercepted and disclosed if not protected by strong encryption. Handheld devices, which are easily stolen, can reveal sensitive information.

How do you start your own BZFlag server?

It's not too hard, you need to know a bit about your router and be prepared to open ports. Theres a really good guide on how to do this here.

What are reasonable requirements that a superpeer should meet?

1. Normal nodes should have low latency access to super peers. 2. Superpeers should be evenly distributed accross the overlay network. 3. There should be a predefined portion of superpeers relative to the total number of nodes in the overlay network. 4. Each super peer should not need to serve more than a fixed number of normal nodes.

Can an employer request your IP address?

That wouldn't make much sense. Most people don't care about their IP addresses and don't know them. Many people don't even have a fixed IP address. Every time I connect to the Internet, my ISP assigns a temporary IP address, but this address can change at any moment - the ISP seems to have several IP addresses, and I get assigned one of them randomly. Also, the IP address I use is shared by many other users. In consequence, anybody that manages to track my IP address can basically track me up to the ISP. From there, to distinguish my data traffic from other users, such a person would need the cooperation of the ISP. In summary, an IP address is often quite useless to uniquely track a person.

All of the above refers to the public IP address, as seen from the outside world. The private IP address is even less useless; most computers have similar IP addresses, such as 10.0.0.2 or 192.168.0.2, which are not unique worldwide; rather, millions of computers all over the world have the private address 10.0.0.2, for example.

What is the command used to configure the basic IP parameters for a network connection?

When you want to configure a simple IP parameter for a network, use the command IPConfig. This is used for TCP/IP setups for business and residential networks by computer technicians.

Who is server for dhcp?

It is what... DHCP is designed to automatically distributed IP addresses to connected to the same network devices.

How run a program in glomosim?

The name of the program should be saved as .pc

example:hello.pc

install the glomosim in your computer

move to nirmal@ubuntu:~/glomosim/glomosim-2.03/parsec/redhat-7.2/bin$

then use the following commands

1.nirmal@ubuntu:~/glomosim/glomosim-2.03/parsec/redhat-7.2/bin$pcc -lm -c hello.pc

2. nirmal@ubuntu:~/glomosim/glomosim-2.03/parsec/redhat-7.2/bin$pcc -user_main hello.o -lm -o hello

3. nirmal@ubuntu:~/glomosim/glomosim-2.03/parsec/redhat-7.2/bin$./hello

thats it then the output will be displayed as

Hello World

and followed by the time limits

Is UDP a fair protocol why or why not?

UDP is slower than TCP because it does not confirm that the package was delivered, as result UDP it not used for secured connections. Because it does not have delivery conformation it works faster than TCP, that's one of reasons why it's used for many internet pagers.

How Henry Hub Future and Henry Hub Spot are related?

one is to buy gas right now, the other one in the future. usually meaning the next future contract.

What are the negative about social networking?

It allows large companies (FaceBook, MySpace, Google) to obtain insanely large amounts of information about you, which can both follow you for the rest of your life (Employers check this data before they hire you) and it can be sold to third parties. These third parties are usually advertising firms, and the information they buy can be used to advertise (or spam your email) with the things you would be interested in. This information can also go to government agencies (CIA, FBI). This should not be enough to deter you from using social networking altogether, but it is important to remember that anything you post will go to people that you may not want to have your information. For this reason, don't post anything important, or identifying.

Will file sharing make your computer more vulnerable to identity theft?

Yes. Any opening you leave in your computer will increase it's vulnerability to a certain extent. If you enable file and print sharing, it is possible for other computers to access those shares from the Internet.

Which transmission media is LEAST susceptible to eavesdropping?

Fiber optic cabling

Answer Explanation: Unlike coaxial cabling, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling, and shielded twisted pair (STP) cabling, fiber optic cabling is not susceptible to eavesdropping. An eavesdropper would have to actually cut the line and tap into the fiber optic cable with a highly complex form of optical T-connector. This would interrupt the connection, which should immediately trigger an alarm.

The "Unshielded twisted pair cabling" and "Shielded twisted pair cabling" options are incorrect. Twisted pair cabling is susceptible to eavesdropping because information is transmitted through the cable via electrical pulses, which emit small amounts of electromagnetic radiation. An eavesdropper could intercept communications with the proper equipment.

The "Coaxial cabling" option is incorrect. Coaxial cabling is susceptible to eavesdropping because anyone can tap into it and add an unauthorized device. Since connections to the network cannot be controlled by a switch or hub, there is no way to prevent unauthorized connections. An intruder can tap into the network with either a basic T-connector or vampire tap.

What if your laptop keeps disconnecting from the internet it goes via a wireless G plus router could this be the problem The main computer sees to work ok via this method?

First of all, Wireless-G give overall poor performance. I would recommend switching to Wireless-N.

The first troubleshooting you should to is check to make sure that you are not turning your wireless network card on and off because of a poorly positioned button or switch.

Next, is the "Main computer" plugged into the router with a cable? If so, then you are getting interference from one of your other wireless appliance. This occurs when another wireless appliance, such as a wireless phone, transmits on the same frequency as the Router.

If not, then your laptops Wireless network card is not long for this world :(. Next time you disconnect, run windows network diagnostics.

Why does an application have more control of what data is sent in a segment?

An application has no control over the size of a data segment in a network packet. An application would not know what the segment size would be, because that information is in the OSI layers and not really retrievable for the application, nor should the application care.

The OSI layers are responsible for taking care of transporting, routing, and other network tasks for a message coming from an application. The application and the network protocols are independent of each other.

Networks negociate segment sizes (MTU) during connections, outside of what the application would see.
