Know more about Networking Hub.
Q #6) What is Switch in computer network?
A-Switch is a multi-port bridge. The switch has individual paths for every connected device. It maintains a Content Addressable Memory(CAM) table to store the port number and MAC address of every connected device.
Q #7) What is the OSI reference model?
A-OSI reference Model is known as Open System Interconnection. It is the reference model which defines how to communicate between the devices of a network.
Q #8) What is TCP?
A-Its full form is Transmission Control Protocol. TCP transmits data in the form of packets. During transmission, if any data packets lost then TCP will request to the sender for resending the data packet.
Q #9) What is HTTP?
