What is computer network ? Types of communication.

Computer Network
A computer network is a system in which multiple devices are connected to each other to share information and resources.
Types of communication:-
(I)Unicast:-
One to one communication between two devices in a network Known as Unicast.In this type of communication,there is only one sender and also one receiver .
(II) Multicast:-
Multicast happens when one user sends message to multiple users at the same time.In this case,there is only one sender and multiple receivers.
(III) Broadcast:-
Broadcast happens when one user is sending message to all users connected or in range .In this case ,there is one sender and all others are receivers.


Let's understand with an suitable example:-

-In Unicast transmission,John is sending   information and Sohail is receiving the   information.so,there is one sender and   one receiver.
-In multicast transmission,Hari is sending   the information whereas   Pintu,Bunty,Sohail are Receiving the the   information.so,there is one sender and   multiple receivers.
-In broardcast transmission,Kishore is   sending the information and everyone   else is receiving.so,this type of   communication is called broadcast.

What is POP3 and IMAP ? Difference between POP3 and IMAP.

POP3:- -POP3 stands for post office protocol   version 3. -It is a simple protocol with limited   functionality which is used for opening   remote e-mail boxes. -It is a pull protocol. -It is an application layer protocol. -A POP3 sever stores message for each   user until the user logs in using e-mail   client and downloads the message to   their  computer.Once the the message is   downloaded ,it(message) is deleted from   the server. -In POP3,you can access mail from a   single device.once you have downloaded   the mail to your desktop after it you can't   download the same message to your   laptop because the mail had deleted after   first download. -The transfer protocol of POP3 is   TCP(Transmission control protocol).Post   office protocol version 3 uses TCP for   communication and It uses T...

Linear Regression in Power BI

Linear Regression is Predictive model used for finding the linear relationship between a dependent and one or more independent variables. In regression the dependent variable has to be continuous numerical (not categorical like Green, Yellow etc). In Simple linear regression, we have one independent variable and one dependent variable. It is also known as Univariate linear regression, as there is only one independent variable. In Multiple linear regressions, we have more than one independent variable and one dependent variable. It is also known as multivariate linear regression, as there is more than one independent variable. Now our goal is to predict the home price by using the Simple Linear Regression. (Name of the above table is SimpleLinearRegression ) In this table we have the prices of home based on the Area of that home. Here we have to predict the Price based on the given Area. As we are predicting the price based on the area. So, Price is the dependent variable and ...

TCP/IP Model

TCP/IP stands for Transmission control protocol/Internet protocol.TCP is a transport layer protocol and IP is a network layer protocol .TCP and IP both are different protocol but by the help of these two protocol ,TCP/IP model was developed.TCP/IP model defines how data is transferred from one computer to another.When two devices communicates with each other through the help of internet ,it is possible only for TCP/IP model .The TCP/IP model consists of 4 layers.These are :- (1) Application layer:-  -This layer performs the function of the   top three layer of the OSI model,i.e.Application layer , presentation   layer and session layer . -The application layer is the top-most layer of the TCP/IP model. -The application layer provides the user with the interface to communication. -There are several protocols used by the application layer for interaction such as:FTP,HTTP, SMTP,DNS,TELNET etc. -The application layer sends data to transpo...
