The TCP IP vs OSI Model debate has been around for years. Which one is better? What are the similarities and differences? Let’s take a look. What is the difference between TCP IP vs OSI model? (with Cheatsheet PDF and…
A clear, updated guide to the 4 layers of the TCP/IP model with concise roles, common protocols, IPv4 vs IPv6 notes, and modern transports like QUIC/HTTP/3.
In my last post, I wrote about the OSI Model and its 7 layers of networking, so here is an OSI Model Cheat Sheet Infographic to help you remember all the details. This cheat sheet will give you a quick…
This blog post will explain the 7 layers of OSI Model, and how they work with each other in easy-to-understand language.
Highlighting "MSTP vs RSTP vs STP vs PVSTP vs RPVST": Discover how each protocol uniquely manages network loops and balances loads.
What is MSTP(Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol)? Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) is an IEEE standard that allows a single physical network switch to support multiple spanning-tree instances. The MSTP standard is useful for companies with lots of VLANs in the…
Explain Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol – What Is RSTP In Networking? Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) is the successor and enhanced version of the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). The purpose of RSTP is to provide significantly faster convergence while still…
A Spanning Tree Protocol or STP is a layer2 protocol used to prevent loops in a network by ensuring that a single path exists between any two nodes in the network. In this blog post, I will explain the Spanning…
