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.

Configuration of peer to peer networks?

To connect 2 or more machines:

A sends a broadcast packet, UDP (Broadcast) asking for other peers (Machines)

B Recieves and sends back a TCP packet (One destination) with information

A accepts connection and establishes it. Peer to peer is complete.

Torrent:

Person gets torrent from a tracker, torrent has URL's of trackers in it.

Client connects to tracker and retrieves an IP list of clients having the torrent on them (Thus calling to the same tracker and 'registering').

Client now has a list of other people. Peer to peer is complete.

What is IP addrese and how many IP addreses are there?

Internet Protocol. it's a address given by your ISP (internet service provider).

Most of the internet today is still using the IPv4 usually in this form

XXX.XXX.XX.XXX

9, 10 , 10 , 9, 10, 10, 9, 10, 10, 10, 10

72900000000 different Ip addresses, There is the new IPv6 which will have lettetrs and numbers and more places.

What types of computer memory bases on computer?

normally RAM and H drives are on most computers. other just use there flash drives or floppy disks

How do you change boot label of Linux?

By "boot label", I presume you mean it's name as it appears in the boot menu. You can change this by editing the boot menu in question.

For GRUB:

The GRUB menu can be found in /boot/grub/menu.list

For LILO:

The LILO menu can be found in either /boot/lilo/lilo.conf or /etc/lilo.conf

For SYSLINUX:

The SYSLINUX menu can be found in either /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg /syslinux/syslinux.cfg /boot/syslinux.cfg or in the root directory.

For NTLDR (the Windows bootloader):

The NTLDR menu can be found in the boot.ini file of your C:\ drive

Which topology is common these days Justify your answer with five reasons?

One of the most popular topologies for Ethernet LANs is the star and extended star topology. It is easy to setup, it's relatively cheap, and it creates more redundancy than the Bus Topology. The Star Topology works by connecting each node to a central device. This central connection allows us to have a fully functioning network even when other devices fail. The only real threat to this topology is that if the central device goes down, so does the entire network. The Extended Star Topology is a bit more advanced. Instead of connecting all devices to a central unit, we have sub-central devices added to the mix. This allows more functionality for organization and subnetting- yet also creates more points of failure. In many cases it is impractical to use a Star Topology since networks can span an entire building. In this case, the Extended Star Topology is all but necessary to prevent degraded signals. Whereas the Star Topology is better suited for small networks, the Extended Star Topology is generally better for the larger ones.

How is the syndrome for the Hamming code interpreted?

Hamming Codes are used for detecting multiple errors in a transmitted code. It can trace missing parts of a code that may have been lost through transmission and it can also tell you if an error has occurred in any bit of the code using Modulo Tow Arithmetic.

What is a logic server?

The core of Logic server is the Gateway to Logic, a collection of interactive logic software. It is aimed at being used at courses and lectures as a means of demonstration and visualization. Part of the software offers a graphical user interface(and requires Java), part of it doesn't(and works with virtually any browser).

What is Telecommunication?

"Telecommunication is the transmission of messages, over significant distances, for the purpose of communication. In earlier times, telecommunications involved the use of visual signals, such as beacons, smoke, semaphore telegraphs, signal flags, and optical heliographs, or audio messages via coded drumbeats, lung-blown horns, or sent by loud whistles, for example. In the modern age of electricity and electronics, telecommunications now also includes the use of electrical devices such as telegraphs, telephones, and teletypes, the use of radio and microwave communications, as well as fiber optics and their associated electronics, plus the use of the orbiting satellites and the internet..." - Wikipedia

How does circumcorneal congestion occur?

Circumcorneal congestion is a gross finding on the anterior surface of the eye. It can also be called ciliary congestion of circumciliary congestion. It is a result of vasodilation of anterior ciliary blood vessels and can be caused by 3 main pathologies 1) anterior uveitis 2) acute or chronic glaucoma 3) corneal infection and/or inflammation.

It is seen as increased redness (due to vasodilation of anterior corneal vessels) in the cornea that is immediately adjacent to the iris.

What is the purpose of a deletion flag in sap?

It is helps you when you make reports to make a split between living and dead materials (= materials with deletion flag). Additionally you can also mark the material with a life cycle status: newly introduced, introduced, marked for deletion, going to life cycle end, ...

Network traffic going to the same computer but different applications is sorted by port number. How about two instances of the same application - Like two browsers. Don't they both connect to port 80?

They can simultaneously connect to remote port 80, while networking layer of the operating system presents each outgoing connection with local random port from range of 1024 to 65535.

What is dns protocol?

DNS protocol was created to convert human domain names into IP address (intenet operates on IP addreses).

How do you create a network with 14 computers?

You connect each computer to a switch, using a UTP cable. Some small switches only have 8 ports; you can connect two such switches to each other, with an additional cable. Each computer has to have a network card.

In a class A how many subnet bits are needed to make at least 365 useable hosts or subnets?

You would need at least 9 bits to borrow. Since 8 bits gives only 255 the additional bit will get you 256. Adding 256 + 128 gives you at least 384 subnets or hosts.

What two digital states do computer only recognize?

Computers work with two states, which are often called "1" and "0" - but other names have been used, too.

How do you calculate packet delivery ratio in MANET?

I think

PDR= Packets Received / Packets Sent

Packets sent/received values should be from same layer. i.e. all from application layer or network layer...etc
