Definition: The MTU is a limit, expressed in bytes, on the size of data sent over a network. It is the maximum size of a single unit (e.g., an Ethernet frame) of digital communications.
MTU sizes are properties of physical network interfaces. The MTU for Ethernet, for instance, is 1500 bytes. Some types of networks (like [...]
Definition: Multihoming is the configuration of multiple network interfaces or IP addresses on a single computer. Multihoming is intended to increase the reliability of network applications but it does not necessarily improve their performance.In traditional multihoming, you install a second hardware network adapter on a computer that normally possesses only one. Then, you configure both [...]
When I first started studying for my CCNA years ago, one of the (many) things that confused me was ARP. Or rather, what ARP did as opposed to Reverse ARP, Inverse ARP, and Proxy ARP! One book would mention ARP without mentioning the other variations, one would mention RARP but not Proxy ARP, and so [...]
The are a couple of things that are essential to any hacker’s walk of life. To name a few, there’s the ubiquitous flash drive for data transfer. You have the crossover cable for even faster data transfer. There’s the WiFi antenna for high gain and strong amplification. Possibly, you might find a video capture card [...]

IP adalah singkatan dari Internet Protocol. Protokol disini saya analogi kan sebagai suatu bahasa penghantar yang digunakan oleh internet untuk dapat berkomunikasi satu dengan yang lainnya. [...]
If you’ve used TCP/IP or the Internet for any amount of time, you know that workstations on a TCP/IP network communicate with each other with a TCP/IP address. Over the physical network, however, workstations communicate with each other with their Media Access Control (MAC) address. Therefore, the key to communicating via TCP/IP is the mapping [...]
