Firstly, you must determine the [...]
ISDN is able to provide voice and data communication while using the same line that you have in your home or business. ISDN is a lot faster than regular DSL service. This type of service is more reliable, dependable, and faster which makes the customer more satisfied with their connection. The ISDN has no line [...]
Subnetting could be explained as a way to identify a network inside of a network without having to sort through all of the IP addresses. Imagine you are in an office building that has 3 floors. On each floor of the building is a corresponding network. Now on the corresponding network imagine it being broken [...]
Viruses and Trojans are by far the biggest security risk next to leaving unencrypted data in an unsecure location. Read up on the virus SQLSlammer.A. Even though, it is “checked” for and blocked by the major virus scanners, they cannot physically stop the attack from the virus unless you have downloaded the MS-039 exploit patch. [...]
A WAN is a network that uses long-range telecommunication links to connect networked computers over long distances. A WAN usually consists of two or more LAN’s which are connected through public networks like the telephone system we use to make phone calls fro home or work. There are two types of WAN’s, enterprise WAN and [...]
A private network is pretty much a network owned specifically for use for a person or business. I guess you can use a law firm as an example. There are 5 offices and in each office is a computer connected to each other via the company network. The sole purpose of that network is used [...]

These types of systems send out information in different ways and strengths. All of these systems have their benefits and [...]
Packet switching is the most common way of sending data through a network. Circuit switching controls the public telephone network. While both circuit and packet switching are used in high-capacity networks, packet switching is considered the more reliable of the two options. The advantage of circuit switching is that it allows large amount of data [...]
VLAN stands for Virtual Local Area Network is one of the latest network technologies that have been developed in the past few years. VLAN s has started to gain recognition only recently. Local Area Network technologies are growing at a extremely fast rate and also the cost of the equipment required for implementing a secure [...]
The decision primarily depends on the type of network. Static routing is manually deciding the routes the packets should take and therefore is suitable for small networks and where topology does not change very frequently. The advantage of having this is that the routers do not have the overhead of tracing all possible roots, but [...]
