Network Infrastructure (tutorial-2)


Network Infrastructure refers to the architecture, in terms of equipment and connections that make up a network functional. In other way, a Network Infrastructure is the physical hardware used to transmit data electronically, such as routers, switches, gateways, bridges, and hubs. The following are the details about the hardware used in a simple Network Infrastructure:

  • Backbone: Is the main line of wire that connects networks to one another. 
  • Router: Is located at gateway where it directs the flow and determines the route of packets as they travel from one network to another network(s). A router can be either a hardware device or software application. 
  • Switches: Directs the flow and determines the route of packets as they travel from one segment of a Local Area Network(LAN) to another on that same LAN. 
  • Bridge: Connects one Local Area Network(LAN) to another. While it can determine to which LAN a packet should be sent, it does not examine or analyze the packet. 
  • Gateway: Is the point at which the network connects to another network. A gateway can be composed of software, hardware, or a mixture of the two. 
  • Hub: Connects segments of a Local Area Network(LAN) and directs packets to their correct location. 
  • Cabling: Several types of cables are used to connect computers on a network. Coaxial cables and twisted pair cables are both composed of copper; the cable television industry primarily uses coaxial cables while the telephone industry relies upon twisted pair. Fiber optic cables ca carry more information than copper wires can, and transmit data as pulse of light. 
  • Modem: Is hardware peripheral used to connect a computer to a network through a telephone, DSL, or a cable connection.

OSI Model (Tutorial-6)

What is the OSI model ? Open Systems Interconnection model is fundamental to all communications between network devices.  Developed in 1974 by ISO after the American Department of Defence began using the TCP/IP suite of protocols.  Finally adopted in 1977. It is now the theoretical model for how communication takes place between network devices. What are the seven layers ? Layers OSI Model Layer 7  Layer 6  Layer 5  Layer 4  Layer 3  Layer 2  Layer 1

Eden: PHP Library To Get Things Easy For PHP Developer

Eden is PHP Library designed for helping developers in their rapid development work. In Our most of the project we have to integrate our developed website or application with most of  the social networking websites like Google, Facebook, Twitter, yahoo etc. so what we do is we integrate libraries of different websites differently Although We could make the code reusable but still if the websites increases then confusion will also increases. Adding different libraries form different sources add more complexity to your project and ends up to be hard to maintain. Eden simply a set of reusable components, that works with any PHP framework and CMS. Eden makes code logical and readable with dead simple syntax. Eden Will work With Most Of Web services including Amazon Web service Facebook Foursquare Google twitter tumbler Paypal Yahoo You could Download the File From  Eden Official Website  and Can use this will just a simply including this...

Network Topologies (Tutorial-4)

Topology refers to the way in which the network of computers is connected. The choice of topology is dependent upon--- Type and number of equipment being used  Planned applications and rate of data transfers  Required response times  Cost Types of Network Topologies Physical Topology: Physical topology defines how devices are connected to the network through the actual cables that transmit data(physical structure of the network)  Logical Topology: Logical Topology (also referred to as Signal Topology) is a network computing term used to describe the arrangement of devices on a network and how they communicate with one another.
