In computer networking, cut through architecture is a method used for packet switching system. In this system the data frame or packets began to leave the switch almost as soon as it begins to enter the switch. In simple words, a cut through architecture does not store a data frame and then forward it. On the other hand, The other device hold the entire frame for a small amount of time while the various fields of the frame are examined, this procedure makes the overall network throughput very slow or diminish it. This method is known as store and forward method. In contrast, the cut through architecture allows a switch to pass the data very quickly and improves the overall network throughput, but cut through also allow to forward fault frames which is his main disadvantage. For instance, a store and forward device will input the frame, perform several check operation like, cyclic checksum, detect the error and perform some operation to control error if the frames or packet are corrupted. However, a cut through device is so fast that it start begins forwarding the frame before the cyclic checksum and in that case faulty frame also been transmitted, if the packet contain too many faulty frames and transmitted around the network then the network integrity suffers a lot. In many data centres, latency and jitter are most important metrics. Even the small amount of delay can cause a bad impact on network performance. To reduce jitter and delay in a network cut through architecture is required. Director x stream and Ilinkagg x stream are the programs which are based on cut through architecture which provide necessary low latency and predictable jitter that enables data centre architects and designer to build best solution that mee... ... middle of paper ... ...

The difference between a store-forward switch and a cut-through switch is that store-and-forward accepts a frame on an input line buffer it for a little while then send it to its appropriate output line; cut-through switch and the other hand takes the advantage that destination address appears at the beginning of the MAC frame. In a cut-through switch environment, the layer 2 switch begin to repeat incoming frame onto the appropriate output line as soon as it recognize the destination
In this lab, we used Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) which is a connection oriented protocol, to demonstrate congestion control algorithms. As the name itself describes, these algorithms are used to avoid network congestion. The algorithms were implemented in three different scenarios i.e. No Drop Scenario, Drop_Fast Scenario and Drop_NoFast Scenario.

The internet explosion has changed how we go about our everyday lives. The thirst for information and the need to ‘always be connected’ is spawning a new era of communications. This new era will continue to spur the need for higher bandwidth technologies to keep pace with processor performance. Because of Moore’s law, computing today is limited less by the computer’s performance than by the rate at which data can travel between the processor and the outside world. Fiber-optic solutions are replacing copper-based solutions, which can no longer meet the bandwidth and distance requirements needed for worldwide data communications [3]. Over the last decade, optical communication technologies have migrated steadily from long-haul backbones to the network edge, invading metropolitan area networks (MANs) and campus-level ...
Biometrics is described as the use of human physical features to verify identity and has been in use since the beginning of recorded history. Only recently, biometrics has been used in today’s high-tech society for the prevention of identity theft. In this paper, we will be understanding biometrics, exploring the history of biometrics, examples of today’s current technology and where biometrics are expected to go in the future.

Spanning tree protocol is a protocol that prevents loops that are not wanted in a network. In order for a network to work properly it has to have only one active path between two network stations. If there are multiple active paths between stations loops can and will occur. When loops occur, there can sometimes be duplicate messages in the network. The loops are created by the network and if the devices that connect the network segments are all configured to forward, they will continuously forward frames into an endless network loop. If there are enough loops going then a frame will not reach its destination. The reason duplicate messages occur is because sometimes switches will see situations appear on both sides of it. When this occurs that is when spanning tree protocol comes in. In order to shut down the loops bridges and switches exchange BPDU messages with other bridges and switches to detect loops and then remove them by shutting down selected bridge interfaces. BPDU is short for bridge protocol data unit. Bridge protocol data units are part of the spanning tree protocol and they help describe and identify the parts of a switch port. The bridge protocol data unit allows switches to obtain information about each other. All the switches gather information from each other by exchanging data messages. In order for them to exchange messages they have to elect a root switch for the topology. The root switch has to be unique. The way they elect they have to have a unique switch for every local area network segment. To exchange messages they have to remove all loops by putting them in a backup state. Now to talk about states there is 5 different states. Two of the five states do not participate in frame forwarding. Frame forwarding is what the three main states do. The three main states are listening, learning, and forwarding. The other 2 are blocking state and disabled state. When you enable the spanning tree protocol the network goes through the blocking state and then the listening state and learning state are enabled after being turned on. If the protocol is properly configured the ports are stabilized to the forwarding or blocking state. The blocking state does not participate in the frame forwarding. It removes frames that are received from the attached segment. It also discards frames from another port for forwarding.
When it comes to getting network traffic from point A to point B, no single way suits every application. Voice and video applications require minimum delay variation, while mission-critical applications require hard guarantees-of-service and rerouting.
Sliding windows, a strategy otherwise called windowing, is utilized by the Internet's Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) as a technique for controlling the stream of bundles between two PCs or system has. TCP requires that every single transmitted data be recognized by the getting host. Sliding windows is a technique by which numerous bundles of information can be insisted with a solitary affirmation.
The explosive growth of the internet over the past 10 years has fostered an almost equally explosive growth in the need to transmit data across vast distances quickly and reliably. Routers have kept pace with this demand. Routers are the traffic cops and road signs that make sure that the email you send to your friend across the country arrives at it’s intended destination. I have barely scratched the surface of information that is necessary to keep a enterprise router up and running. As we keep an eye to the future amazing things will continue to un-fold in the world of routers.
The purpose of this paper is to provide a better understanding of switching and routing used in a network environment and familiarize the reader with various hardware and software associated with there functions. This paper will look at some switching concepts that will include store and forward switching, cut through switching, fragment free switching, and V-Lan. This paper will also cover routing concepts, along with some comparisons including routed vs. routing protocols, Classful vs. classless protocols, and distance vector vs. link state protocols.
This is an important aspect of a network, this shows the way data flows and also monitors the performance of the network. In reality, there are three main essential layers in the OSI model when send a packet, which are the physical layer, data Link layer, Network Layer.
System design in a data center network provides the tools for addressing the challenges that occur with expansion of data center infrastructure. This includes support for the rapid growth of applications and their data and storage bandwidth, managing and modifying data storage requirements, optimize server-processing resources and access information
With the design separated into smaller logical pieces, network design problems can be easier to solve through divide and conquer techniques. Vendors who follow the model will produce equipment that is much more likely to be compatible with equipment from other vendors. The OSI model also provides for more extensible network designs. New protocols and other network services are easier to add to a layered architecture.
LAN has high performance designed to satisfy requirements of both closely knit multi-computer systems and communities of users spread across large campus area.
