What is Hub ?

what is a Hub ?

  • Hub is a networking device which is used to connect multiple devices together in LAN(local area network).
  • Hub works under physical layer of OSI(open system interconnection) model.
  • It is purely hardware device where data reaches from one or, more nodes and is forwarded to one or, more nodes.
  • Traffic is high in hub because it is purely hardware .It has not software to determine the destination address.so,it does only forwarding but not filtering.Lets take an example for better understand:-            
  • If pc1 sends data to pc2,Data will goes to pc2 and also data goes to pc3 and pc4.which means hub can not do filtering .It can do only forwarding.                                                                                                                                                           
  • Collision is high in hub.
  • Hub communicates on the basis of half-duplex mode,Which means at a time a computer can either transmit or, receive but  can not do both simultaneously.
  • Hub has singe collision domain.  
  • Hub is also a multiport repeater.                                                                                                                                      
  • Hub is two types .These are active  hub and passive hub.
  • Active hub needs electricity and can regenerate signal.
  • Passive does not need electricity and can not regenerate signal.It simply receive and forward.

What is FTP ?

  FTP -FTP stands for file transfer protocol. -The Transport protocol of FTP is TCP     because it requires reliability. -The port number of FTP is 20/21.Port 20   performs the task of forwarding and   transferring of data and port 21 performs   the task of transmitting of commands. -It is a standard internet protocol provided   by TCP/IP for transmitting the file(which     may contain any kind of digital   information,such as text document,   movie ,image etc.) from one device to   another. -It is mainly used for transferring the web   page files from their creater to the   computer that acts as a server for other   computer on internet and it is also used   for downloading the files to computer   from other servers. -The main competitor for FTP is Http and   now sites runs Http servers instead of   FT...

HTTP

   HTTP:- -Http stands for hypertext transfer   protocol. -It is an application layer protocol. -The http is a set of rules for exchanging  files(text, graphics,video, record,images  and other multimedia files) on the   Www(world wide web). -It is an access method to access web   pages used on the internet . -Http is a part of protocol framework   called the internet protocol suite ,which   includes TCP/IP . -Http uses port number 80. Components of Http based system:- Http is a client server protocol , requests are send by one entity,the web user agent.Most of the time the user agent is a web browser. Generally 3 components are in http based based system.Like client, server and proxy . Client and server:- A server is a computing program or device that accepts and responds to requests made over a network.The device the sends request to the server and get response from the s...

MAC Address

MAC stands for media access control. MAC address is also known as physical address or hardware address or BIA(burnt-in-address).BIA is generally written in Cisco router switches.physical address is generally written in laptop/pc.MAC address is generally written in Mobile. MAC address is globally unic.The MAC address of a device is different from other devices.Many people are thinking there is only one mac address of a device but it is actually wrong ,Because there is no mac address of a laptop .There is a Mac address of your NIC(network interface controller) ,which is connected to your laptop .                                (NIC) If you change your NIC,then the Mac address of your laptop will be changed.NIC is a separate hardware component present in your computer used to connect with the network (home network or internet).There are so many ways that you can connect your laptop with the network like...
