What is an IP address, and what does it mean? What is your IP address, by the way?

Image
  ON THIS PAGE: What is an IP address, and what does it mean? What is your IP address, by the way? IP addresses provide computers on IP networks with unique identifiers that enable them to communicate with one another. IP is defined. Domain Name System (DNS): This system matches domain names to IP. Is your IP changing? Can several devices share the same IP? Is it possible that we'll run out of them? Is it a good idea to conceal your IP? IPv4 and IPv6 are two different types of IP. TIPS & HOW-TO'S What exactly is IPv6? What method is used to distribute IP? IP emails, static vs. dynamic, and DHCP IP that are public vs private Subnetting and subnet masks are two terms that are sometimes used interchangeably. What is the IP of my computer? Using a VPN to mask the IP     IP addresses provide computers on IP networks with unique identifiers that enable them to communica...

What exactly is a network transition, and how does it function?

ON THIS PAGE: What exactly is a network transition, and how does it function? Switches bind network segments, allowing for full-duplex connectivity, useful network output data, and effective bandwidth use. What is the difference between a network switch and a router? What is the purpose of a network switch? Hubs vs. switches Routers vs. switches Switches of various types Uncontrolled Controlled Features in management   Switches bind network segments, allowing for full-duplex connectivity, useful network output data, and effective bandwidth use.[ps2id id='Switches bind network segments, allowing for full-duplex connectivity, useful network output data, and effective bandwidth use.' target=''/] Today, networks are critical for helping companies, providing connectivity, and supplying entertainment, among other things.

What is “link aggregation”? The pros and cons of link aggregation: how does it benefit your network?

Image
Link aggregation seems to be a simple solution to quadruple your NAS speeds, but it's not as straightforward as it seems. A wired connection is usually the best when it comes to networking. When a single connection isn't adequate, link aggregation between switches, or connecting two network connections together, may help. A single gigabit connection is sufficient for games, however link aggregation may aid with file transfers. A direct Ethernet connection has many benefits, including being always secure and resistant to radio wave interference (simply don't run your CAT 5e parallel to an electrical line otherwise everything goes wrong). While newer Ethernet protocols such as 10 Gbps are available, consumer-level equipment remains limited. Link Aggregation, also known as link bundling or port aggregation, is a more accessible and cheap method to explore throughout the transition from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps wired Ethernet. This is a technique for combin...
