Computer Network, (Not part of syllabus), , Microwave link vs Optical fiber, Microwave which is also known as Radio links have been used by many companies, for decades. Most of the Mobile (Cellular) networks use microwave to connect their, cell towers to their backhaul networks.For mobile operators, a reason using, microwave is not the speed which microwave provides. It is used to connect their, remote sites (Rural areas) , because microwave is a faster and cheaper deployment, option compare to fiber., When more capacity (bandwidth) is required, fiber becomes more economical., Actual cost of fiber deployments is laboring cost. Digging a trench and laying the, fiber , getting the required permissions from the land owners and from the, municipalities.we have to dig a trench that’s hundreds (or thousands) of kilometers, long, or lease access to ducts that have already been laid by infrastructure, companies.Geography of the land is very important for the fiber deployments. For, example, when faced with a mountain or river, do we go straight across at great, expense, or do you make a diversion to the nearest bridge or tunnel? Combine all of, these factors and you’ll understand why most of the world’s terrestrial fibre, networks are deployed alongside existing roads and railways., Visit : python.mykvs.in for regular updates

Network devices, Hub Vs. Switch, A hub works on the physical layer (Layer 1) of OSI model while Switch works, on the data link layer (Layer 2). Switch is more efficient than the hub. A, switch can join multiple computers within one LAN, and a hub just connects, multiple Ethernet devices together as a single segment. Switch is smarter, than hub to determine the target of the forwarding data. Since switch has a, higher performance, its cost will also become more expensive., , Switch Vs. Router, In the OSI model, router is working on a higher level of network layer (Layer, 3) than switch. Router is very different from the switch because it is for, routing packet to other networks. It is also more intelligent and sophisticated, to serve as an intermediate destination to connect multiple area networks, together. A switch is only used for wired network, yet a router can also link, with the wireless network. With much more functions, a router definitely, costs higher than a switch., Visit : python.mykvs.in for regular updates

Network devices, Router vs Gateway, Gateway regulates traffic between two dissimilar networks, while router, regulator traffic between similar networks. A router is a hardware device, that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform, the traffic directing functions on the Internet., Connection In One Network With Router - For example, there are 30, computers connected inside Network A. All these computers, communicate with each other. In this situation, no gateway is needed., Because a router with a routing table that defines the hops within those, 30 computers is enough., Connection Between Different Networks With Gateway - In another, hand, we suppose that there are two networks, that are Network A and, Network B. Computer X from Network A wants to send data to, Computer Y from Network B, then there need to have both a Gateway A, and a Gateway B so that the two networks will be able to communicate., Visit : python.mykvs.in for regular updates
