What's the difference between a MAC address and IP address?

Image
  Every computer or device on the internet has two types of addresses: its physical address and its internet address. The physical address -- which is also called a media access control, or MAC, address -- identifies a device to other devices on the same local network. The internet address -- or IP address -- identifies the device globally. A network packet needs both addresses to get to its destination . MAC address vs. IP address: What's the difference? Both MAC addresses and IP addresses are meant to identify a network device, but in different ways. Some of the main differences between a MAC address and an IP address include the following:    >   local identification vs. global identification;    >   Layer 2 vs. Layer 3 operation;    >   Physical address vs. logical address;    >   Number of bits;    >   Address assignment and permanence; and    >   Address formatting. A MAC address is responsible for local identification and an IP address for global identifica

A method for designing neural networks optimally suited for certain tasks

Image
  Neural networks, a type of machine-learning model, are being used to help humans complete a wide variety of tasks, from predicting if someone's credit score is high enough to qualify for a loan to diagnosing whether a patient has a certain disease. But researchers still have only a limited understanding of how these models work. Whether a given model is optimal for certain task remains an open question. MIT researchers have found some answers. They conducted an analysis of Neural Networks and proved that they can be designed so they are "optimal," meaning they minimize the probability of misclassifying borrowers or patients into the wrong category when the networks are given a lot of labeled training data. To achieve optimality, these networks must be built with a specific architecture. The researchers discovered that, in certain situations, the building blocks that enable a neural network to be optimal are not the ones developers use in practice. These optimal building

The Need for Speed: Network Automation or Manual Changes?

Image
Network engineers who learned the command line interface (CLI) for configuring network devices often prefer to make changes using manual processes, citing the speed with which changes can be applied. Is this really the case?  The Manual Change Process The manual change process isn’t just about typing commands directly into network devices. The smart engineer creates the changes in a text document and uses cut and paste to apply configuration updates. The text document is needed anyway for the change control board (CCB) to review the proposed change. Making network changes without going through the CCB is not a valid process for the purposes of this comparison with automation. A vast majority of companies use the CCB to try to reduce the number of network outages due to configuration changes, which is the most frequent source of outages (up to 80% reported by some analysts). Most of the manual change processes I’ve seen have omitted the pre-change validation that the network was functio

What is a WAN? Wide-area network definition and examples

Image
  WANs connect smaller networks across long distances, and their architecture, protocols and technologies have evolved to their latest incarnation, SD-WAN. People want to connect to all of their apps all of the time from all of their devices no matter where they are. And they pretty much can, thanks to wide-area networks (WANs). At its core, a WAN is a network of networks. The Internet itself is a giant WAN, and how you connect to it can be as diverse as through an Ethernet cable, coaxial cable, or a cellular radio signal. Your office network, home Wi-Fi, cellphone, smartwatch, doorbell camera and vehicle-based Internet connection are just endpoints on a vast global WAN that is constantly evolving to carry more traffic, and to carry that traffic faster as the demands for near-instantaneous access to resources increase. How is a WAN different from a LAN? A Local Area Network (LAN) is confined to a relatively small area. In the business world, LANs are generally limited to a single build

The six types of virtualization in cloud computing

Image
  Virtualization makes it possible for operating systems, applications and data storage from software or hardware to be represented in virtual form. Given the number of businesses moving their resources to the cloud, it becomes increasingly expedient for cloud providers to utilize virtualization to configure their services according to the individual needs of their customers, making their services more scalable and flexible. 1. Storage virtualization Storage management is one area of cloud computing that has been improved in recent years through virtualization. Storage virtualization involves collecting and merging several physical storage units and rendering them as one storage cluster over a network. This type often comes in handy for enterprises and individuals aiming to expand and scale their storage without investing in physical storage facilities. In addition, storage virtualization improves effective storage management by ensuring that multiple storage points can easily be acces

Energy-efficient Network Protocols

Energy-efficient Network Protocols The robustness of network protocols refers to the ability of a protocol to operate correctly and consistently even under adverse conditions, such as network congestion, packet loss, and other unexpected events. A robust protocol should be able to recover from errors and continue to function correctly without compromising data integrity or security.

Introducing Named Data Networking

Image
While computing, storage and programming have dramatically changed and become simpler and cheaper over the last 20 years, however, IP networking has not. IP networking is still stuck in the era of mid-1990s. Realistically, when I look at ways to upgrade or improve a network, the approach falls into two separate buckets. One is the tactical move and the other is strategic. For example, when I look at IPv6, I see this as a tactical move. There aren’t many business value-adds. In fact, there are opposites such as additional overheads and minimal internetworking QoS between IPv4 & v6 with zero application awareness and still a lack of security. Here, I do not intend to say that one should not upgrade to IPv6, it does give you more IP addresses (if you need them) and better multicast capabilities but it’s a tactical move. Problematic landscape The core problem of IP networking is that it is location based. Everything has an IP address that defines “where” the location is. However, we li
