Cabling is the medium for the transmission of data between hosts on the LANs. LANs can be connected together using a variety of cable types, such as unshielded twisted-pair, coax, or fiber. Each cable type has its own advantages and disadvantages . Three primary types of cable media can be used to connect systems to …
A network topology is the physical layout of computers, cables, and other components on a network. There are a number of different network topologies, and a network may be built using multiple topologies. The different types of network layouts are : Bus topology Star topology Mesh topology Ring topology Hybrid topology Wireless topology Bus Topologies A …
A network is a group of systems that are connected to allow sharing of resources— such as files or printers—or sharing of services—such as an Internet connection There are two aspects of setting up a network: the hardware used to connect the systems together and the software installed on the computers to allow them to …
In July 2003, IEEE 802.11f, a recommended practice for multivendor interoperability by the inter-access point protocol (IAPP), got standardized. The recommended practice describes a service access point (SAP), service primitives, a set of functions, and a protocol for APs to interoperate on a common distribution system (DS), using Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) or User Datagram …
The Open Settlement Protocol (OSP) is a client-server protocol (that consists of a set of protocols and associated profiles) defined by the ETSI TIPHON to establish authenticated connections between gateways/servers, and allows gateways and servers to transfer accounting and routing (optionally) information securely. OSP allows service providers to deliver multimedia services without establishing direct peering …
Media gateway protocol is used for interconnecting two networks, for us the IP and the PSTN networks. The Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP), developed by IETF, and Megaco, developed by IETF and ITU-T (recommendation H.248), are two protocols used by the media gateways. MGCP defines a gateway that focuses on the audio signal translation function, …
The Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) is used to establish and control timesynchronized streams of continuous audio and video. Sources of data can include both real-time and stored clips. During an RTSP session, an RTSP client may open and close many reliable transport connections to the server to issue RTSP requests. Alternatively, it may use …
Voice communication is a real-time communication, which means it has severe delay constraints . Dedicated systems for voice do not face any problems considering delay but in a system made for asynchronous data transmission it will become a big issue. In the following subsections the challenges that will be faced during VoWLAN product development and …
TKIP was developed to provide an intermediary solution until the AES solution was available and to be usable with the existing hardware. Thus TKIP can counter most of the security issues in WEP. The mechanisms that TKIP makes use of are the message integrity check (MIC) value called Michael, the extended IV as TKIP sequence …
A virtual area network connects the components and resources of one network over another network by allowing the user to tunnel through the Internet or another public network, giving the participants the same security and features as those available in private networks [64]. VPNs allow telecommuters, remote employees, or even branch offices to connect in …
