Difference Between QoS and CoS
// Nov 25th, 2011
QoS vs CoS
In computer networks, there are several ways to improve the quality of data transmission. The obvious way is to expand the bandwidth and improve the speed. But is there any way to improve this by keeping existing hardware in packet switched networks? This concept came as, classifying data frames in...
Difference Between Internet Intranet and Extranet
// Nov 24th, 2011
Internet vs Intranet vs Extranet
Computer networks differ from each other depending on their topology. Each type of network has its own characteristics which provide desired level of service to the audience. There are three comprehensive types of networks, Internet, Intranet and extranet. Each network shares...

Fast Ethernet vs Gigabit Ethernet | Standards, Physical Media Specifications, Speed and Performance
What is Ethernet?
Ethernet in computer networks refers to a collection of standards and components, which provides a media to communicate in a Local Area Network (LAN), between network devices. There are various...
Difference Between TCP and IP
// Oct 12th, 2011
TCP vs IP
TCP and IP are the first and the most important two communication protocols in the Internet Protocol Suite (which include all the communications protocols, i.e., set of rules and message formats implement to transfer data between computer systems, used for Internet and other networks). Sometimes...
Difference Between IP and MAC Address

IP vs MAC Address
What is IP Address?
In a network that uses Internet Protocol to communicate between the entities such as computers or printers of the network, the logical numerical label or address assigned to each entity is called an IP address (Internet Protocol Address). IP address serves the purpose of identifying...
Difference Between Active FTP and Passive FTP
// Oct 8th, 2011
Active FTP vs Passive FTP
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a set of Standard network rules (protocols), concerning the file transfer between two hosting computers over a TCP/IP-based network (a network that uses Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol to deliver a stream of bytes from one computer to another)...
Difference Between VLAN and Subnet

VLAN vs Subnet
What is VLAN?
VLAN is a logical group of networks created regardless of their physical location which helps to create smaller broadcast domains within a switch. For these VLANs, different ports can be assigned. Without VLANs, a switch considers all interfaces to a switch are in one broadcast domain....
Difference Between Switch and Hub
// Jul 8th, 2011
Switch vs Hub
A network device that is used to connect network segments together is called a switch. Usually, switches are used at the data link layer (layer 2 of the OSI model) to process and route data. Multilayer switches are a type of switches that process data at the network layer (layer 3 of the OSI model)...
Difference Between Static IP and Dynamic IP
// Jul 4th, 2011
Static IP vs Dynamic IP
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a label made up of numbers, which is assigned to devices that are connected to a network. It is used to identify and communicate with a device on a network. Static IP is a permanent IP address assigned to a computer by an internet service provider (ISP)....
Difference Between Subnetting and Supernetting
// Jul 3rd, 2011
Subnetting vs Supernetting
Subnetting is the process of dividing an IP network in to sub divisions called subnets. Computers belonging to a sub network have a common group of most-significant bits in their IP addresses. So, this would break the IP address in to two parts (logically), as the network prefix and...
Difference Between Firewall and Router
// Jul 2nd, 2011
Firewall vs Router
Both Firewalls and Routers are devices that are connected to networks and pass through network traffic depending on some set of rules. A device or set of devices intended to allow permission to accept/deny transmissions based on a certain set of rules is called a firewall. Firewall is used...
Difference Between Fuzzy Logic and Neural Network
// Jul 2nd, 2011
Fuzzy Logic vs Neural Network
Fuzzy Logic belongs to the family of many-valued logic. It focuses on fixed and approximate reasoning opposed to fixed and exact reasoning. A variable in fuzzy logic can take a truth value range between 0 and 1, as opposed to taking true or false in traditional binary sets. Neural...
Difference Between Socket and Port
// Jun 27th, 2011
Socket vs Port
In the context of computer networking, a socket is an end point of a bidirectional communication that occurs in a network that is based on the internet protocol. Sockets will distribute the data packets that are coming through the communication channel to the correct application. This is done using...
Difference Between IP and Port
// Jun 26th, 2011
IP vs Port
With the latest developments of information and communication technologies (ICT) every nook and corner of the vast globe is interconnected. The basis of this wonderful victory is mainly due to rapidly evolving communication and networking technologies. The building blocks of these miracle creations...
Difference Between Flooding and Broadcasting
// Jun 25th, 2011
Flooding vs Broadcasting
Routing is the process of choosing which paths to be used to send network traffic, and sending the packets along the selected sub-network. Flooding and Broadcast are two routing algorithms used in computer networks today. Flooding sends all incoming packets through every outgoing edge....
Difference Between NAT and NAPT
// Jun 23rd, 2011
NAT vs NAPT
Network Address Translation (NAT) is the process that modifies the IP address in a header of an IP packet, while it is travelling through a routing device. NAT allows one set of IP addresses to be used for traffic within a LAN (Local Area Network) and another set of IP addresses to be used for outside...
Difference Between NAT and Proxy
// Jun 22nd, 2011
NAT vs Proxy
Network Address Translation (NAT) is the process that modifies the IP address in a header of an IP packet, while it is travelling through a routing device. NAT allows one set of IP addresses to be used for traffic within a LAN (Local Area Network) and another set of IP addresses for outside traffic....
Difference Between VLAN and VPN
// Jun 17th, 2011
VLAN vs VPN
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a set of hosts that communicate with each other as if they were connected to the same switch (as if they were in the same domain), even if they are not located at the same physical location and not connected to the same switch. VLANs allow to group networks logically...
