  2. Internet background noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_background_noise

    Internet background noise has been used to detect significant changes in Internet traffic and connectivity during the 2011 political unrest from IP address blocks that were geolocated to Libya. [5] Backscatter is a term coined by Vern Paxson to describe Internet background noise resulting from a DDoS attack using multiple spoofed addresses. [6]

  3. Packet loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_loss

    Other full queue mechanisms include random early detection and weighted random early detection. Dropping packets is undesirable as the packet is either lost or must be retransmitted and this can impact real-time throughput; however, increasing the buffer size can lead to bufferbloat which has its own impact on latency and jitter during congestion.

  4. Noisy-channel coding theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noisy-channel_coding_theorem

    In the style of the random coding argument, we randomly generate codewords of length n from a probability distribution Q. This code is revealed to the sender and receiver. It is also assumed that one knows the transition matrix p ( y | x ) {\displaystyle p(y|x)} for the channel being used.

  5. List of features removed in Windows 10 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_features_removed...

    Critics argued that this change was meant to discourage Windows 10 Pro from being used in business environments, since Microsoft was reducing the amount of control administrators have over their devices' environments without using an enterprise version of Windows 10. [31] The ability to share Wi-Fi credentials with other contacts via Wi-Fi ...

  6. User error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_error

    This usage implies a lack of computer savviness, asserting that problems arising when using a device are the fault of the user. Critics of the term argue that many problems are caused instead by poor product designs that fail to anticipate the capabilities and needs of the user. The term can also be used for non-computer-related mistakes.

  7. ping (networking utility) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping_(networking_utility)

    ping is a computer network administration software utility used to test the reachability of a host on an Internet Protocol (IP) network. It is available in a wide range of operating systems – including most embedded network administration software.

  9. Noise (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_(electronics)

    Different types of noise are generated by different devices and different processes. Thermal noise is unavoidable at non-zero temperature (see fluctuation-dissipation theorem), while other types depend mostly on device type (such as shot noise, [1] [3] which needs a steep potential barrier) or manufacturing quality and semiconductor defects, such as conductance fluctuations, including 1/f noise.
