1. Transmission mode:
The way in which data is transmitted from one device to another device is known as
transmission mode.
The transmission mode is also known as the communication mode.
Each communication channel has a direction associated with it, and transmission media
provide the direction. Therefore, the transmission mode is also known as a directional
mode. The transmission mode is defined in the physical layer.
Types of Transmission mode
The Transmission mode is divided into three categories:
Simplex Mode Ex: Radio
Half-duplex Mode Ex: walkie talkie
Full-duplex mode Ex: TV
2. Flow Control:
Flow Control is the process of managing the rate of data transmission between two nodes
to prevent a fast sender from overwhelming a slow receiver.
It provides a mechanism for the receiver to control the transmission speed, so that the
receiving node is not overwhelmed with data from transmitting node.
3. DNS:
DNS is used for name-to-address mapping.
The DNS provides the protocol which allows clients and servers to
Communicate with each other.
It is a directory lookup service that provides a mapping between the name of a host on the
internet and its numerical address.
4. Computer Networks:
A computer network is defined as, “a set of computer which are interconnected by a
communication links for sharing data or resources or exchanging messages.
The best known computer network is the Internet.
All networks must have
A resource to share
A pathway to transfer data(transmission media)
A set of rules governing how to communicate(protocol)
5. Socket Address:
Socket is an end point of a two way communication link between two programs running
on a network.
Connection of IP address and Port number.
IP address + Port number = Socket address
Socket Address
