Difference Between

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... 

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.... 

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... 

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.... 

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... 

Centralised Routing vs Distributed Routing Protocols Routing is the process of choosing which paths to be used to send network traffic, and sending the packets along the selected sub network. In computer networking terminology, a routing protocol defines how nodes in networks (specifically routers) interact with... 

Centralized Routing vs Distributed Routing | Centralised Routing vs Distributed Routing Routing is the process of choosing which paths to be used to send network traffic, and sending the packets along the selected sub-network. Centralized routing model is a routing model in which routing is centrally carried out... 

IDS vs IPS IDS (Intrusion Detection System) are systems that detect activities that are inappropriate, incorrect or anomalous in a network and report them. Furthermore, IDS can be used to detect whether a network or a server is experiencing an unauthorized intrusion. IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) is a system... 

Unicasting vs Multicasting In computer networking, unicast refers to transmitting information from one sender to a one receiver. So unicasting involves only two nodes in a network. The single receiver in unicasting is identified by a unique address. On the other hand, Multicasting refers to transmitting information... 

Flow Control vs Congestion Control Flow control is a mechanism used in computer networks to control the flow of data between a sender and a receiver, such that a slow receiver will not be outran by a fast sender. Flow control provides methods for the receiver to control the speed of transmission such that the... 

Encapsulation vs Tunneling Encapsulation and tunneling are two important concepts found in Computer Networking. Tunneling is a method used to transfer a payload (a frame or a packet) of one protocol using an internetwork infrastructure of another protocol. Because the transmitted payload belongs to a different... 

Static VLAN vs Dynamic VLAN Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a set of ports selected by the switch as belonging to the same broadcast domain. Typically, all ports carrying traffic to a particular subnet address would belong to the same VLAN. Static VLANs are VLANs that are manually configured by providing... 

Client Server vs Peer to Peer Client server and peer to peer are two network architectures. In the client server architecture, tasks or workloads are partitioned between servers, and services are requested by clients. Usually, clients and servers communicate through a computer network, but they can also reside on... 

Throughput vs Bandwidth Even though widely used in the field of networking, bandwidth and throughput are two commonly misunderstood concepts. When planning and building new networks, network administrators widely use these two concepts. Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data that can be transferred through a... 

DLNA vs UPnP in Digital Home | What is DLNA certified in Digital Living ? DLNA and UPnP both are Digital Home interoperability network for PC, Laptop, Tablets, Smartphones and Consumer Electronics. In the past few years especially last two years the home networking and digital sharing inside home became very essential... 

DCSMA CD vs CSMA CA Medium Access Controller (MAC) is the hardware implementation of the protocol defined for medium access controlling which is used in case of shared networks with multiple nodes available for communication by using a single physical medium. The method evolved from the ALOHA Ethernet and two varieties...
