Communication can be established in two ways between two or more devices that are connection-oriented and connection-less. Network layers can offer these two different types of services to its predecessor layer for transferring data. Connection-oriented services involve the establishment and termination of the connection while connection-less services don't require any connection creation and termination processes for transferring data. Another difference between connection-oriented and … [Read more...]
Difference Between Data and Information
Data is raw, unanalyzed, unorganised, unrelated, uninterrupted material which is used to derive information, after analyzation. On the other hand, Information is perceivable, interpreted as a message in a particular manner, which provides meaning to data. Data doesn't interpret anything as it is a meaningless entity, while information is meaningful and relevant as well. Data and Information are different common terms which we frequently use, although there is a general interchangeability … [Read more...]
Difference Between 3G and 4G Technology
3G and 4G can be differentiated concerning technology compliance, data transfer rate, capacity, IP architecture and number of connections, etc. 3G stands for 3rd generation in which optimized mobile are developed for enabling data and broadband services with better connectivity. 4G LTE stands for 4th generation which delivers more capacity for quicker and improvised mobile broadband experiences and allowing more connections. 3G and 4G technology are associated with mobile communication … [Read more...]
Difference Between Bridge and Switch
A network is formed when two or more devices connect to share data or resources. A large network may need to be subdivided for efficient frame delivery or the traffic management. Bridges or switches are used to connect these subdivided segments of networks. In a long way, the terms bridge and switch are use interchangeably. Bridge and switch both provide the same functionality but the switch does it with greater efficiency. A bridge connects smaller network segments to form a large network, … [Read more...]
Difference Between FTP and SFTP
Networking environment's most common task is to transfer the files/data/information between the hosts on the network. FTP and SFTP are the file transferring protocols. Transferring the files over the network in the plain text format can raise the security concern. The FTP protocol was introduced when security over the internet was not a big issue. The data was sent unencrypted in FTP which can be easily intercepted by the attacker. Hence, some secure channel was required to transfer the … [Read more...]
Difference Between Broadcast and Multicast
Transmission is the process of forwarding a packet from one host to other connections in a network. In this article, I have discussed the two transmission methods, broadcast and multicast. In both cases, address aggregation is performed, which reduces the size of the prefix that defines the network to which destination hosts are connected. Address aggregation combines the packets and deliver them to ISP (Internet Service Provider), which holds some network together. Further, the packets are … [Read more...]
Difference Between Client-Server and Peer-to-Peer Network
Working on computers for long you may have heard the terms Client-Server and Peer-to-Peer. These two are the common network models that we use in our day-to-day life. The Client-Server network model focuses on information sharing whereas, the Peer-to-Peer network model focuses on connectivity to the remote computers. The main difference between the Client-Server and Peer-to-Peer network model is that in Client-Server model, the data management is centralised whereas, in Peer-to-Peer each user … [Read more...]
Difference Between TCP/IP and OSI Model
TCP/IP and OSI are the two most widely used networking models for communication. There are some similarities and dissimilarities between them. One of the major differences is that OSI is a conceptual model which is not practically used for communication. On the other hand, TCP/IP is a model used for establishing a connection over the network. The OSI model mainly emphasises the services, interfaces and protocols. Conversely, the TCP model is not able to distinctly describe these … [Read more...]
