2. Star Network topology

By
In star topology all devices or computers are connected to one centralized server. They are connected with server by hub.
 Star topology is used in that network where end points are directly reachable from central location. Because each nodes link to the server by different cables. There is no risk of data collisions. Each computer connected to the hub by its own cable segments only a single computer can transmit at a time and every computer on the network wait for message. Thus it is best on broadcasting architecture.
a.     Advantages
i.                    Devices are attached to server by its own cable, thus break down of cable affects only to that nodes.
ii.                  Failure of single node will not affect the rest of the network.
iii.                Central hub can be represent with other having more ports to plugs the nodes.
b.     Disadvantages
i.                    Failure of central hub will affect whole network.
ii.                  More expensive.

iii.                Required more cables and costly hub.

What is manipulator in C++?

By
Answer: Manipulators are special functions that can be included in the I/O statement to alter the format parameters of a stream. Table-2 shows some important manipulator functions that are frequently used. To access these manipulators, the file < iomanip.h > should be included in program.                               Table-2               Manipulators                                                    Equivalent ios function               set...

Network Topology

By
A network topology is the arrangement of the computers cable and other components on a network. The major goal of network topology is to find out the most economical and efficient way to connect all the users to the network resources while providing adequate capacity to handle users demand, maintain system reliability and decrease the delay.    Topology is the map of physical network. The type of topology we use defect the type and capabilities network hardware’s its management and possibilities for future expansion. There are many types of network topology, some of these are:   Bus Topology Star Topology Mesh Topology   Ring Topology Tree Topology

What is Servlet in Java?

By
A servlet is a small program that executes on a server. Just as applets dynamically extend the functionality of a web browser, servlets dynamically extend the functionality of a web server. It is helpful to understand that as useful as applets can be, they are just one half of the client/server equation. Not long after the initial release of Java, it became obvious that Java would also be useful on the server side. The result was the servlet. Thus, with the advent of the servlet, Java spanned both sides of the client/server connection.
