Quick Technical Tip : Tunneling




Tunneling is a way in which data is transferred between two networks securely. All the data that is being transferred are fragmented into smaller packets or frames and then passed through the tunnel. This process is different from a normal data transfer between nodes. Every frame passing through the tunnel will be encrypted with an [...]



Quick Tech Tip – Connectionless Internetworking




Connectionless internetworking follows the datagram model. In this model, the network layer offers the transport layer the ability to inject datagrams into the subnet. There is no notion of a virtual circuit at all in the network layer. This model does not require all packets belonging to one connection to traverse the same sequence of [...]



Quick Tech Tip: Concatenated Virtual Circuits




Two styles of internetworking are common:

* a connection-oriented concatenation of virtual circuit subnets, * a datagram internet style.

In the concatenated virtual circuit model, a connection to a host in a distant network is set up in a way similar to the way connections are normally established. The virtual circuit consists of concatenated [...]



Quick Tech Tips: Wide Area Networks – WAN




Wide Area Networks, or WAN, span a large geographical area. A WAN contains a collection of machines intended for running user programs. Transmission rates are typically 2 Mbps, 34 Mbps, 45 Mbps, 155 Mbps, 625 Mbps, etc. The machines are connected by a subnet whose job is to carry messages from machine to machine. The [...]
