If you have anything to do with networked AV and you're not well-versed in the OSI model, we've got you covered. You will learn the fundamental ideas around getting data from host A to host B over a ...

Understanding Protocols and the OSI Network Model Getting a handle on the invisible part of your network—the protocols that are in use—can be of enormous value in helping you detect problems.

The Physical Layer includes cable specs, pin-out patterns, voltages, hubs, repeaters, network cards, protocol standards (RJ45, V series modem standards) and even host bus adapters (HBA).

The OSI model defines protocols for how a network technically handles communications at the various functional layers. Starting with electrons and photons at the physical layer (Layer 1), the ...

Network security is essential at every layer of the OSI model, including the mythical eighth layer, where users interact with technology.

Layer 2 of the OSI model is where we find the Data Link Layer, which provides the mechanism by which data is transferred from node to node across a network.

Strengthening the different layers of IT networks Getting started on designing a network is a task of formidable proportions, but all the more so if you are looking to build a secure network.

The Data Link Layer is one of my favorite layers of the OSI Model. Like a father who loves ALL of his children equally, but in different ways, I also love the other layers, but Layer 2 will always ...

The 4-7 layer band in the OSI 7-layer network model covers some important tasks, such as load-balancing. But to date they have been pretty fixed – set once and reset at a fair degree of inconvenience: ...

OSI's Model For Security Peeling back the layers of IoT devices reveals most of them are nothing more than what are already on the Internet in the form of present-day M2M devices.
