  2. Multi-link trunking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-link_trunking

    Link aggregation or MLT allows multiple physical network links between two network switches and another device (which could be another switch or a network device such as a server) to be treated as a single logical link and load balance the traffic across all available links.

  3. System resource - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_resource

    In computing, a system resource, or simply resource, is any physical or virtual component of limited availability that is accessible to a computer. All connected devices and internal system components are resources. Virtual system resources include files (concretely file handles), network connections (concretely network sockets), and memory areas.

  4. Link aggregation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_aggregation

    Link aggregation offers an inexpensive way to set up a high-capacity backbone network that transfers multiple times more data than any single port or device can deliver. Link aggregation also allows the network's backbone speed to grow incrementally as demand on the network increases, without having to replace everything and deploy new hardware.

  5. Channel access method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_access_method

    In telecommunications and computer networks, a channel access method or multiple access method allows more than two terminals connected to the same transmission medium to transmit over it and to share its capacity. [1] Examples of shared physical media are wireless networks, bus networks, ring networks and point-to-point links operating in half ...

  6. Ethernet hub - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_hub

    4-port 10BASE-T Ethernet hub with selectable MDI-X/MDI port 8-port Ethernet hub with one 10BASE2 connector and eight 10BASE-T ports. An Ethernet hub, active hub, network hub, repeater hub, multiport repeater, or simply hub [a] is a network hardware device for connecting multiple Ethernet devices together and making them act as a single network segment.

  7. OSI model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model

    The physical layer is responsible for the transmission and reception of unstructured raw data between a device, such as a network interface controller, Ethernet hub, or network switch, and a physical transmission medium. It converts the digital bits into electrical, radio, or optical signals.

  8. Multihoming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multihoming

    Multihoming is the practice of connecting a host or a computer network to more than one network. This can be done in order to increase reliability or performance. A typical host or end-user network is connected to just one network. Connecting to multiple networks can increase reliability because if one connection fails, packets can still be routed through the remaining connection. Connecting ...

  9. Multicast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast

    This is efficient in scenarios like live streaming, where the data is only sent once but received by multiple devices interested in the same content. Broadcast: Broadcast communication involves sending data from one source to all devices within the network's range. In this case, every device receives the same data, regardless of whether it is ...
