CCNA: Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)

The Network DNA

CCNA: Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) In this article, we will talk about ARP that maps the layer 3 address to the layer 2 MAC address. This is similar to Address Resolution Protocol, which maps layer 3 IP addresses to the layer MAC addresses. CCNA RnS Article #28: Why Spanning Tree Protocol? IP address.

CCNA: TCP SEQ and Port Number

The Network DNA

CCNA: TCP Sequence & Port Number This article can be read as the second part of the previous article CCNA: 3-Way Handshake where we discussed what makes TCP a reliable protocol for transmitting information. Lets discuss the TCP SEQ and Port numbers in this article. These applications are identified using the port numbers.

Watch Meta’s engineers discuss optimizing large-scale networks

Engineering at Meta

At Meta, we’ve found that these challenges broadly fall into three themes: 1.) Data center networking: Over the past decade, on the physical front, we have seen a rise in vendor-specific hardware that comes with heterogeneous feature and architecture sets (e.g., non-blocking architecture). stalled videos).

A RoCE network for distributed AI training at scale

Engineering at Meta

Distributed training, in particular, imposes the most significant strain on data center networking infrastructure. Constructing a reliable, high-performance network infrastructure capable of accommodating this burgeoning demand necessitates a reevaluation of data center network design.

Multi-Path TCP: revolutionizing connectivity, one path at a time

CloudFaire

It's a major extension to the TCP protocol, and historically most of the TCP changes failed to gain traction. For example, in a data center scenario, it's common to use interface bonding. After the initial TCP handshake, each peer may announce additional addresses (and ports) on which it can be reached. 4321 hmac 0x.,nop,nop],

Protocols of Transport Layer Explained

NW Kings

The protocols of transport layer play a significant role in data transmission across the network, ensuring reliable communication between sender and receiver. This blog will explore the key protocols within the transport layer, focusing on TCP ( Transmission Control Protocol ) and UDP (User Datagram Protocol) in detail.

To communicate with us, they choose a protocol such as RTMPS (Real Time Messaging Protocol Secure), SRT (Secure Reliable Transport), or WHIP (WebRTC-HTTP ingestion protocol) that defines how their content is packaged and transmitted. Each of these protocols is a way to transmit audio and video frames with various tradeoffs.
