Comprehensive Guide to Types of Physical Media and Networking Cables
Want to build rock-solid networks? Start with the cables. Network physical media are the highways for data. They connect our computers, routers, switches, and servers in the digital world. These transmission channels operate in the Physical Layer. This is the first layer of the OSI framework. They fall into two main types: guided systems that...
Bandwidth vs Throughput: Understanding the Key Differences in Networking
In today’s digital world, terms like bandwidth and throughput are frequently used in networking, but they’re often misunderstood or used interchangeably. Whether you’re streaming a 4K video, managing a cloud-based application, or setting up a local network, understanding the distinction between bandwidth and throughput is crucial for optimizing performance. This article dives deep into their...
Physical Layer (Layer-1) of OSI Model
The Physical Layer is the lowest layer of the OSI Model. It provides the resources to transport the bits that comprise a data link layer frame across the network media. This layer accepts a complete frame from the data link layer and encodes it as a series of signals transmitted to the local press, as shown...
Comparison between TCP/IP and OSI Model
Comparison between TCP/IP and OSI models is critical because protocols that make up the TCP IP protocol suite can also be described in terms of the OSI reference model. The network access layer and application layer of the TCP IP models are further divided, and the OSI model describes discrete functions that must occur at...
A Guide to the TCP/IP Model and Protocol Suit
In 1970, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) began working to create an open standard network model known as the TCP/IP Model. Subsequently, by 1985, the TCP/IP model started gaining more importance and support from vendors, ultimately replacing the OSI model. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) maintains the TCP/IP model and related protocols. The TCP/IP model was on the...
Understanding Data Encapsulation and Decapsulation in OSI Layers: A Comprehensive Guide With Simulator Updated 2025
Data encapsulation and de-encapsulation are crucial for transmitting information across computer networks. Encapsulation involves wrapping data in a specific format before sending it over the network, ensuring it can traverse various communication mediums and reach its destination intact. On the other hand, de-encapsulation is the process of unwrapping and extracting the original data at the...
OSI Model, including its 7 Layer Introduction
As the importance of computers grows, vendors recognize the need for networking with them. They produced a variety of protocols whose specifications were not made public. Hence, each vendor had different ways of networking computers, and these ways were not compatible with each other. This means that the computers of one vendor could not be...
