Everything you want to know about a computer

Computer Network Terms Explained

If networking terms puzzle you, this should hopefully clarify some of the main ones.

ADSL - Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, is the most well loved form of internet connection in the UK

IP Transit - internet transit hosted by an ISP.

Atom - similar to RSS but is newer and offers a greater range of facilities. Still in development, but catching on. The technology is based on RSS.

Bandwidth - the total of information you can send through a connection. Bandwidth is generally measured in megabits per second.

Blog - similar to an online journal where a person or society may publish its thoughts or opinions, but can also publish facts. Often updated at least once a week and ordinarily roughly daily and is arranged chronologically in order.

Broadband refers to a connection which has more bandwidth than a modem, and tends to be a very generic term with no specific speed attached to it, but will always mean a connection to the internet rather than LAN connection.

Co-Location is where a server belongs to one person or company but is hosted on the internet by another company or person.

DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration - distributes IP addresses to clients on a network dynamically.

DNS - domain name system is a mechanasim that takes a domain name and translates it into an IP address.

Domain Name - a unique name that is used to identify an internet site. Domain names have three sections to them- in the centre a dot, separating the name, and at the end a tld or domain ending such as .com.

Ethernet - a standard networking method via a LAN, with varying speeds.

Firewall - protection from malicious network traffic.

FTP - file transfer protocol a common method transferring files around the internet quickly and easily.

A host is a computer or client on a network that provides services to other computers or clients on the same network.

HTTP or HyperText Transfer Protocol allows hypertext files to be transfered to and from and across the internet. HTTP is the most vital protocol used in the World Wide Web (www)

IMAP is gradually replacing POP as the main protocol used by email clients in communicating with email servers. Using IMAP, an email client program can not only retrieve email but can also manipulate message stored on the server, without having to really retrieve the messages. IMAP allows for greater control over email as they can be stored, emailed etc and shared between groups where POP email can't.

IPv4 Internet Protocol version 4, this is the most widely used version of the internet protocol. IPv4 has a maximum of four billion IP Numbers (technically 232) but due to the way it was designed this is really less than that due to some inefficiencies.

IPv6 Is the next generation of IPv4 with over a sextillion addresses (theoretically 2128) deployment of IPv6 is slow currently but will get fantastic when more and more devices support it.

LAN Local area network, which is normally defined as being within the same building or floor of a building.

Network - when two or more computers are connected together to share resources.

To make things a small more convoluted, the online backup market is divided by two distinct categories - the consumer market and the business market.

 

The web server developer Opera declared its paper which was prepared for the tablet computer, and exhibited the newest network technology at the international computer exhibition.

 

If you boast a reliable router in your home then setting up a home network in order to link and interconnect multiple computers along with many peripheral devices such as printers, is possible.

 

To ensure the security of your server, always protect your desktops and laptops. You must always backup your vital data and protect your network from infiltration by subscribing to network security.

 

The most obvious advantage of online banking is the amount of time you save through it. You are no longer required to spend time going to the bank and you may conduct your transactions over the net through this facility.

 

On the other hand, other people have more distinct reasons such as needing to check out an individual they are going to hire or starting to date.

 

A excellent server support consists of a team of technically sound people, with the latest hardware and software to resolve the problems in the server and networks quickly.

 

According to Verizon's Summer catalog that has leaked out early, the smartphone will have a 1 GHz processor, 8 GB memory card preinstalled with upto 16GB expandable memory, a 5 megapixel camera, and Wi-Fi hotspot software.

The Internet: Computer Networking at Its Finest

The military and certain universities use a connection of networks in order to exchange information. This inter-networking is now what we have come to know as the Internet. Thanks to Internet service providers, this technological phenomenon was brought straight to our homes. Now, we do an array of activities using the Internet, and most of them have become so intertwined with our daily lives that it's already quite hard to live without them. The Internet has become a multi-billion dollar industry and a lot of people have become millionaires and billionaires from it.

Chatting

Humans are a naturally social species. We always had the need to communicate and you'll see this through ancient texts, cave paintings by early man, and the development of the telecommunications industry. This is why there are so many websites that offer chat room services. A very well loved application has been with instant messaging. People have been using this service to chat with friends, family, and even for business purposes. Some companies even use conference chat on instant messengers for some of their meetings.

Online auction

Some people buy, some people sell, some do both. It's at auction website where people can buy hard to find items from other users. What's fantastic about it is that you can also sell things at these websites as well. There are people that make a lot of money from merely selling items on those sites.

Peer to peer services

People simply like music and ever since peer-to-peer services have been introduced, music has been all around us more than ever. Although these have gone though a legal battle, as record companies and other artists would say that it violates copyright laws. Nowadays, most of the music you can get from the Net has to be paid for (although there are some artists that give out songs or even entire albums for free).

Video streaming

A number of websites now offer video streaming services where users can upload their own videos for public show. A lot of users of these sites have become household names because of the videos they post. A number of entertainment companies saw the potential of these websites, and chose to join the bandwagon themselves. They would make their own user profiles, and release new videos from their artists exclusively on those websites. This has been a fantastic marketing strategy for them.

Online shopping

Shopping has become a whole new experience since online stores have arrived. With online shopping, you no longer have to bust it out at busy malls during Christmas, and you simply have to just go around your mouse and click away. The only downside to it is that you don't see the physical item before buying it, but buying things through online stores has made it extremely convenient for most occasions. Let's say you are in California, and you've been dying to buy an item, but it's only found in London. All you have to do is to type in the name of that item on a search engine, and you will see what online stores have them available and at what price.
