Tech Differences

DTE (Data terminating equipment) and DCE (Data circuit terminating equipment) both terms are frequently used in Data communication and networking; these terms can be considered as the type of serial communication devices where basic WAN connectivity between subscriber and provider relies on. The basic difference between DTE and DCE is that DCE is usually located at the service provider whereas DTE is the attached device.

The basic difference between Bridge and Router is that Bridge is a network device mainly operating at the data link layer of the OSI model with filtering and forwarding capabilities. While Router is an internetworking device operating at the network layer of the OSI model. A router is attached to the two or more networks and forwards packets from one network to another.

Telnet and SSH are the general purpose client server application program and uses remote terminal service which allows a user at one site to interact with a remote time-sharing system at another site as if the user's keyboard and a display connected directly to the remote machine. The main difference between Telnet and SSH is that the Telnet is conventional protocol whereas SSH is the replacement for Telnet protocol and also SSH have enhanced features.

UTP (Unshielded twisted pair) and STP (Shielded twisted pair) are the types of twisted pair cables which act as a transmission medium and imparts reliable connectivity of electronic equipment. Although the design and manufacture are different but both serve the same purpose. The basic difference between UTP and STP is UTP (Unshielded twisted pair) is a cable with wires that are twisted together to reduce noise and crosstalk. On the contrary, STP (Shielded twisted pair) is a twisted pair cable … [Read more...]

In this article, we are going to discuss about two terms frequently used in networking as a unit of data i.e, frame and packet. The crucial difference between frame and packet is that frame is the serial collection of bits, and it encapsulates packets whereas packets are the fragmented form of data and it encapsulates segment. Data link layer performs framing process. On the other hand, Network layer performs fragmentation of the data and create smaller chunks known as packets. Another major … [Read more...]

Bluetooth and Wifi provide wireless communication and uses radio signals for doing so. The main difference between Bluetooth and Wifi is the purpose behind its designing. Bluetooth is essentially used to connect short-range devices for sharing data while Wifi provides high-speed internet access. Another difference between Bluetooth and Wifi is that limited number of devices have provision to connect with other devices in Bluetooth. On the other hand, Wifi provides access to more number of … [Read more...]

Bit rate and Baud rate, these two terms are often used in data communication. Bit rate is simply the number of bits (i.e., 0's and 1's) transmitted in per unit time. While Baud rate is the number of signal units transmitted per unit time that is needed to represent those bits. The crucial difference between bit rate and baud rate that one change of state can transfer one bit, or slightly more or less than one bit that relies on the modulation technique used. Hence, the given equation defines … [Read more...]
