Some characteristic of frame-relay Hub and spoke topology includes: You can easily manage hub …
Frame-relay: FR (Frame Relay) is a packet-oriented WAN technology use for connecting remote offices over the internet or WAN. Frame-relay consider to be cost effective solution and most ISPs across the globe provide frame relay services. Frame-relay provides the dedicated connection called the PVC which is used to form logical end-to-end links mapped over a physical network. …
What is SDSL? SDSL is the type of DSL but it support more data rate over the copper phone line and have same data rates for upstream and downstream. SDSL supports the data rates up to 3mbs. SDSL works by transferring digital pulses in the high-frequency region of copper wires and cannot work at the same time …
Response time In data networks, response time is the amount of time when an individual user enters a commands or press a particular key stock on their work station and when that particular command get executed. You need to minimize the response time for better network performance. You can accomplish low response time by using …
Throughput In networking throughput is amount of data that you can transfer from source to destination in particular give time. For this transmission, data may be travel through a physical or logical link, or pass through a certain network devices. The most commonly used unit for throughput is bits per second. Throughput of network devices is …
What is Intra controller Roaming? Intra-controller Roaming is a type of roaming in wireless network and it happen when a wireless client move their association from one access point to other access point but both access points are connected to same wireless LAN controller. Wireless LAN controller (WLC) update the new wireless access point association in …
What is Inter controller Roaming: Inter controller Roaming is type of roaming that happen in wire network when a wireless client move its association from one access point to other access point that is connected to different wireless LAN controller. For more understanding please consider the figure, it happen when the client move from AP2’s …
