Network Wiring Standards
There are two wiring standards for network cabling. T568A and T568B are the two standards for the RJ-45 or 8-position modular connector, permitted under the TIA/EIA-568-A wiring standards document. The only difference between T568A and T568B (also...

WiFi Range: What are the Limits?
Because of the fact that the WiFi networking standard uses very high frequency (2.4 GHz) radio signals to transmit data, its access range is usually quite limited. How limited, of course, depends on the type of WiFi hardware being used. A...

Internetworking Overview

Internetworking:

Internetworking involves connecting two or more computer network with some sort of routing device to exchange traffic back and froth, and to guide traffic on the correct path across the complete network to their destination . Connecting together two or more networks with bridges sometimes inaccurately refer to as internetworking ,but the resulting system is a single subnetwork ,and users require no internetworking protocol, such as IP,to traverse it. Briefly, I will present :Network Layers, Tunneling technique .-which are misunderstood terms in computer network-

Network layers:

1.physical layer (Repeaters & Hubs): They just move the bit from one network to an identical network. these are mostly analog devices and do not understand any thing about digital protocols(regenerate singles)

2.Data link layer (Bridges & switches): They accept frames ,examine MAC addresses and forward the frames to different networks ,doing minor protocol translation.

3.Network Layer (Routers): They can connect two networks and do packet translation ,but translation is increasingly rare.

4.Transport Layer(Transport Gateways): They can interface between two transport connection


.For example ,allow packets to flow between a TCP network and SAN network.

5.Application Layer (Application Gateways): They translate message semantics for the data being moved, such as parsing and changing header fields between an Internet e-mail and X.400 e-mail.

How Network Differ?

Networks can differ in many ways: 1.They may differ in their Physical layer :by having different modulation technologies. 2.they may differ in their data link layer by: having different frame format. 3.they may differ in their network layer by: having different internetworking protocols.

Networks can be connected by different devices according to the level of connection.

Tunneling: Tunneling is a technique used for passing information between two networks of the same type of network, but there is a different network in between. When the router gets the frame, it pulls the IP packet out of the frame and drops it into the payload field of anther frame to send across the WAN. this is undone at the other end ,allowing the data to be received on the other end.-More about Tunneling later-
