PROTOCOL


PROTOCOL
A protocol is a standard rules that regulates the operation of devices. It can be defines as the set of rules that take cares of communication between hardware, software or both.
            The primary protocol of internet is TCP/IP protocol.
1.  HTTP ( Hyper Text Transfer Protocol): It is a protocol that is used to display information on the World Wide Web. Its main purpose is to provide a way to display and retrieve HTML pages. It is a request/ response protocol between clients and server. In this ‘http’ mean some document over internet and ‘https’ mean some secure document over internet.
2.  FTP( File Transfer Protocol): It is a client server protocol that helps in transferring or exchanging files between client and server. It may be authenticated with usernames and passwords. Transferring files from client node to server is known as uploading while transferring files from server to client node is known as downloading.
Generally FTP uses port no 20 and 21.
FTP is also known as RFC959, RFC stands for Request For Comments.
3.  TCP/IP ( Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol): It is a set of rules governing communications among all the computers onn internet. TCP/IP is a combination of two separate protocols TCP and IP.
IP  standard dictates the logistics of packets sent over network.
TCP ensures reliable transmission of data across connected network.
TCP/IP was developed in 1978 and driven by Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf.
4.  IMAP( Internet Message Access Protocol): It is a standard email protocol that stores email messages on a mail server and allows a user to view and manipulate the messages as if they were stored locally on the user’s computer.
5.  SMTP ( Simple Mail Transfer Protocol): It is a TCP/IP protocol that is used in sending and receiving e-mail. It is usually used with one of two other protocols POP3 or IMAP since it has limited ability to queue messages at the receiving end.

ARITHMETIC OPERATIONS ON BINARY NUMBER

Binary arithmetic is simpler to learn because binary number system deals with only two digits - 0 and 1. Binary number perform all arithmetic operation such as Addition, Substraction, Multiplication and compliment as in decimal number system. Binary Addition The addition table for binary arithmetic consist of only the following four entries: 0+0=0 0+1=1 1+0=1 1+1=0 , plus a carry of 1 to the next column.     1011        + 1100    10111     1100    + 1100     11000 Binary Substraction There are three ways to do substraction between binary numbers:- 1. Simple Substraction 2. Substraction using 1's Complement 3. Substraction using 2's Complement Simple Substraction: The complete table of binary substraction is as follows: 0-0=0 0-1=1, borrow 1 from next column 1-0=1 1-1=0    1101 - 0101   1000     1001   - 0111    0...

Media Of Communication Part 2

Unguided Media Unguided media transport electromagnetic wave without using a physical connection. This type of communication referred as wireless communication. We can divided wireless transmission in :-   1. Radio Wave:- Electromagnetic   waves ranging in frequencies between 3KHz and 1GHz are normally called radio wave.   On radio wave connectivity used communication used Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc.     Bluetooth :- It is a wireless network connectivity that enables to connect or transfer data between devices over a short range the physical range of connection up to 100 meter. Ex- Mobile phone, barcode scanning, portable speaker, wireless keyboard, mouse etc.      Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity):- Wi-Fi is a network of wireless connection. Wi-Fi network establish by radio frequency like Bluetooth, but has more power, resulting a strong connection.    ·   Wi-Fi is also called wireless Ethernet. It has connectivity range up...

Application OF Computer

Communication : - In the past, people used to communication through letters, telephones etc. The advent of computers has made it possible to share or exchange information in real time (instant). Information can be textual, graphics or visual from any corner of the world in different ways. Like – Email, Online chatting, Video conferencing, FTP (File Transfer Protocol), Telnet, Social Networking. News & Broadcasting : The delivery and reception of news has changed dramatically with the advent of computers. Earlier, Journalists used snail mail, reel-to-reel recorders, dark-room processing for photos and typewriters for composing contents. But now computers have facilitated in Instant Broadcast, Online Newspapers, Online News Channels, etc. Social Networking: Before the advent of computer, people used to interact with friends and relatives in closed groups and meet them during family functions, religious ceremonies and gatherings at local temples, gurudwaras, mosques or church...
