Domain Name System and Reverse Lookup

Importance of Domain Name System
•    DNS is essential for a proper operation of the network;
•    If DNS fails, connections to any remote host are no more possible;
•    To allow network operation in case of failures of a nameserver, each nameserver (called primary nameserver should have at least another nameserver (called secondary nameserver) which holds a copy of the zone file;

Difference Multicast and Unicast

Zeroconf relies on what is called Multicast DNS.
Say you are at a party and you need to talk to a woman named Suzy.
Unicast DNS is like asking the host of the party who she is;

multicast DNS is like shouting “Is Suzy here?” to the whole room.

Naturally, things would get awfully loud if it was a big …

Difference between ARP and RARP

Address Resolution Protocol and Reverse Address Resolution Protocol

A MAC address is something like an electronic serial number. Whenever info is sent from your computer, the packet contains the MAC Address.

ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) resolves the MAC address to an IP Address. In a sense this identifies the calling computer connecting to your computer.

Network Subnetting

Defining Subnets - Brien M. Posey

Subnetting is simply a technique for breaking a big block of IP addresses into smaller blocks that can be used to define separate networks. For example, suppose that you were able to obtain a class B block of IP addresses. Imagine that the address block that you received …

What is “Port” in Networking

Ports can be readily explained with an analogy:

Think of IP addresses as the street address of a block of flats (apartment complex), and the port number as the number of a particular flat (apartment) within that building.

If a letter (a data packet) is sent to the flats (IP) without a flat number (port number) on it then nobody knows who …

Difference between Router and Gateway

Difference between Router and Gateway

In simpler terms a router is like a elevator in the building. It can take you to any floor [destination] and back again [source]. This would work with any routable protocol [tcp/ip, ipx, decnet..]

Your first door to the elevator is your gateway. This is all your pc needs to know since the router …

Wake On LAN / Remote Wake Up - Computer

The general process of waking a computer up remotely in a LAN can be explained thus:

The target computer is shut down, with power reserved for the network card. The network card listens for a specific packet, called the “Magic Packet”. The Magic Packet is broadcast on the broadcast address for that particular subnet or the entire LAN. The listening computer …
