1.What is microbrowser? Compare the four different types of microbrowser?

Ans: A mobile browser, also called a microbrowser, minibrowser, or wireless internet browser (WIB), is a web browser designed for use on a mobile device such as a mobile phone or PDA. Mobile browsers are optimized so as to display Web content most effectively for small screens on portable devices. Mobile browser software must be small and efficient to accommodate the low memory capacity and low-bandwidth of wireless handheld devices. The mobile browser usually connects via cellular network, or increasingly via Wireless LAN, using standard HTTP over TCP/IP and displays web pages written in HTML, XHTML Mobile Profile(WAP 2.0), or WML (which evolved from HDML). The first mobile browser for a PDA was PocketWeb [2][3] for the Apple Newton created at TecO in 1994. The first deployment of a microbrowser on a mobile phone was probably in 1997.A Web browsers however enable you to have multiple windows open simultaneously and arrange them on your computers display in any way you wish. Web Browser Uses Web browsers are utilized for your computer capabilities Micro browser micro-browser are intended for mobile phones and other devices that uses wireless connection like Smartphone, tablets and laptops. Micro-browsers require less bandwidth limit than web browsers. Less Micro-browsers are optimized so that the display of images and videos can be shown effectively on the smaller screens of portable gadgets.

Bandwith Limit

Requires more Bandwith than microbrowser More Web browsers have better features than micro browsers. The capabilities of web browsers were stripped down to provide browsing ability to various Smartphone or mobile phone users. New computers usually have pre- installed web browsers that you can use wherein web sulfurs are given the ability to access web contents through online connection.

Memory Capacity Features

Offline Support

The trending feature added to micro browsers which is the ability to allow users to access offline contents in the form of browser cashes is perhaps the most notable difference between the two.

2.What is OperaMini and OperaMobile?

Ans: Opera Mini is a web browser designed primarily for mobile phones, smartphones and personal digital
assistants. Until version 4 it used the Java ME platform, requiring the mobile device to run Java ME applications. From version 5 it is also available as a native application forAndroid, bada, iOS, Symbian OS, and Windows Mobile. Opera Mini was derived from the Opera web browser for personal computers, which has

been publicly available since 1996. Opera Mini began as a pilot project in 2004. After limited releases in Europe, it was officially launched worldwide on January 24, 2007. In January Opera announced that it is working on a new browser dubbed Opera "ICE". Opera Mini requests web pages through Opera Software's servers, which process and compress them before sending them to the mobile phone, speeding up transfer by two to three times and dramatically reducing the amount of data transferred, chargeable on many mobile phone data plans. The pre-processing increases compatibility with web pages not designed for mobile phones.

When a user browses the web using Opera Mini, the request is sent via the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) to one of the Opera Software company's proxy servers, which retrieves the web page, processes and compresses it, and sends it back to the client (user's mobile phone).

Opera Mini is a proxy browser. Any website you with to view on it first passes through the Opera servers located in various locations around the world. The servers strip out overheads, compress and pre-format the webpage, effectively an image of the webpage is then sent to the Opera Mini running on your telephone. The fact that on Opera Mini you are not looking at the full and directly transmitted, live webpage limits some of the user interaction you can have with that webpage. If you are paying for data by the MB or have a low data limit, Opera Mini is definitely the best option and will save you plenty of money. I also find Opera Mini usefull if I find myself on a slow GPRS connection, it kind of spees things up because the amount of data you are waiting to load in is much smaller than using a standard mobile browser. Opera Mobile is an internet browser in the true sense. It makes a connection with the server of the website you want to view with no other processing inbetween. Opera Mobile then renders the webpage on your mobile device. Because Opera Mobile is making a direct connection and is showing you the "live" webpage it can allow for greater interaction with the webpage and the viewing of video etc. Opera Mobile does have the option of using Opera Turbo. Opera Turbo compresses webpages in a similar manner to Opera Mini for reduced data usuage and therefore reduced cost if you pay per MB. Size Rendering Opera Mini Barely 900KB. Opera Mini downloads an optimized version (in Opera's Binary Markup Language/OBML) of the website from Opera's proxy. Less Opera Mobile ~20MB Opera Mobile downloads HTML from web server and renders the website on your phone

4.What is OMNeT?How is OmNeT different from OPNeT? Ans: 5.What is NetStumbler tool?What are its applications? Ans: NetStumbler (also known as Network Stumbler) is a tool for Windows that facilitates detection
of Wireless LANs using the 802.11b, 802.11a and 802.11g WLAN standards. It runs on Microsoft Windows operating systems from Windows 2000 to Windows XP. A trimmed-down version calledMiniStumbler is available for the handheld Windows CE operating system. Network manager NetStumbler lists all the

wifi networks in your area, their signal strength and whether or not they're passworded.
Applications of NetStumbler are: Wardriving Verifying network configurations Finding locations with poor coverage in a WLAN Detecting causes of wireless interference Detecting unauthorized ("rogue") access points Aiming directional antennas for long-haul WLAN links.

7.What is Ehereal software and Wireshark Software? Ans: The word Sniffer is actually a trade name of a commercial network analyzer from Network Associates.

However, the term sniffer is commonly used to identify a class of tools that examine packets or frames sent across the network. These tools are called packet sniffers, protocol analyzers or network analyzers. There are several commercial and freeware products that will do sniffing on Ethernet networks. Ethereal is open source software released under the GNU General Public License. Originally authored by Gerald Combs in 1997, the current list of contributors from all over the world spans several pages. The number of protocols supported now is over 750! Included in the list are automation protocols BACnet, CIP (EtherNet/IP), and Modbus/TCP. The success of this effort certainly points to the benefits of the open source movement. According to the Ethereal web site: Ethereal is still technically beta software, but it has a

comprehensive feature set and is suitable for production use. In fact, Ethereal was first released in 1998, and has been in continuous development since that time. Furthermore, it should be emphasized, that the current release is not a .1 release it is actually release 0.10.xx. Wireshark is a free and open-source packet analyzer. It is used for network troubleshooting, analysis, software and communications protocol development, and education. Originally named Ethereal, in May 2006 the project was renamed Wireshark due to trademark issues.[4] Wireshark is cross-platform, using the GTK+ widget toolkit in current releases, and Qt in the development version, to implement its user interface, and using pcap to capture packets; it runs on various Unixlike operating systems including GNU/Linux, OS X, BSD, andSolaris, and on Microsoft Windows. There is also a terminal-based (non-GUI) version called TShark. Wireshark, and the other programs distributed with it such as TShark, are free software, released under the terms of the GNU General Public License. Wireshark is very similar to tcpdump, but has a graphical front-end, plus some integrated sorting and filtering options. Wireshark allows the user to put network interface controllers that support promiscuous mode into that mode Wireshark uses pcap to capture packets, so it can only capture packets on the types of networks that pcap supports. Features:

Data can be captured "from the wire" from a live network connection or read from a file of alreadycaptured packets. Live data can be read from a number of types of network, including Ethernet, IEEE 802.11, PPP, and loopback. Captured network data can be browsed via a GUI, or via the terminal (command line) version of the utility, TShark. Captured files can be programmatically edited or converted via command-line switches to the "editcap" program. Data display can be refined using a display filter.
