What is a Router? ✅ Meaning A router is a network device that connects multiple networks together and routes data packets between them. It’s like a traffic controller that decides the best path for data to travel across networks (especially from local networks to the internet). Ever wondered how your data reaches the right destination […]
What is a MAC Address? A MAC Address (Media Access Control Address) is a unique ID assigned to every network device like WiFi, Bluetooth, or LAN ports. It helps identify each device on a network. Example: 01:32:54:76:85: AB — This is a MAC address. The address is divided into 2 parts: 1-OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) […]
Why VLAN Separation for Camera and Storage Networks Matters in Large-Scale CCTV Projects Modern CCTV systems are increasingly IP-based, intelligent, and interconnected. As deployments grow in scale and complexity, network design becomes as critical as the cameras and recorders themselves. One key best practice: separating VLANs for camera and storage traffic. Here’s why this matters […]
What Is a Patch Panel and Why Is It Essential in Network Infrastructure? The image below illustrates a classic example of structured cabling using a Patch Panel mounted inside a rack. The patch panel acts as a central point for managing and organizing network cables efficiently. Here’s how it works: • Network cables coming from […]
What is WAP2/WAP3 in networking? WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) and WPA3 are security protocols used to protect wireless networks (Wi-Fi). WPA2: – Released: 2004 – Encryption: Uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) for strong encryption. – Authentication: Uses PSK (Pre-Shared Key) for personal networks or 802.1X for enterprise. – Weakness: Vulnerable to brute-force attacks if […]
What is HTTP/HTTPS in Networking? 1. HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol): – Purpose: HTTP is a protocol used for transmitting data (like web pages, images, and videos) between a web browser (client) and a web server. – How It Works: – The client (browser) sends an HTTP request (e.g., GET or POST) to the server. – […]
Ever wondered how data flows across networks? This powerful illustration breaks it down using a simple water pipe analogy. From bandwidth to latency, and from compression to congestion, these crucial factors define how efficiently data moves. A deeper understanding of network dynamics can help optimize performance, troubleshoot issues, and enhance communication. Disclaimer – This post […]
RJ45 Connector – Don’t Just Crimp It, Crimp It Right! The term RJ45 stands for Registered Jack 45, a standardized network interface used for Ethernet connections. But just using the right connector isn’t enough—how you crimp it matters more than you think. Wrong Crimping Results In: Misaligned wires Loose contacts Poor or unstable connectivity Difficult […]
DHCP vs Static IP – Key Differences In networking, assigning IP addresses correctly is essential for maintaining efficient communication between devices. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) – Automatically assigns IP addresses – Minimizes manual configuration and human error – Ideal for large, dynamic environments such as offices and campuses Static IP – Manually assigned and […]
Quality of Service (QoS) – Smarter Traffic Management for Smarter Networks In today’s IP networks, especially when handling voice, video, and real-time applications traffic, QoS isn’t optional—it’s essential. QoS involves various techniques to classify, mark, queue, and schedule packets so that critical traffic gets priority. Here are a few key scheduling and congestion avoidance mechanisms: […]
