Elements of Data Communication

Data Communication refers to the exchange of data between the sender and the receiver.There are basically five elements of data communication:-

1.Message: It is the information or the data to be communicated.It may be in the form of text, numbers, pictures, sound, video or any other physical quantities.

2.Sender: It is the device which sends the data.It can be computers, workstations, telephone etc.

3.Receiver: It is the device which receives the message.It can be computers, workstations, television etc.

4.Transmission Medium: It is the physical path by which the message travels from sender to the receiver.It could be a twisted pair cable, fibre optic cable, microwaves, infrared waves etc.

5.Protocol: A protocol is a set of rules that govern data communications. It establishes an agreement between the communicating devices. Without a protocol, two devices may be connected but cannot communicate with each other. The protocols are being embedded with the communicating software.

Configuring 2 backend servers and a load balancer with HAProxy

A load balancer is a device that distributes the traffic across a cluster of servers. In computing, load balancing improves the distribution of workloads across multiple computing resources, such as computers, a computer cluster, network links, central processing units, or disk drives.As a result, it improves responsiveness and increases the availability of applications. For load balancing, we need to install LAMP server on backend servers and HAProxy on the load balancer. HAProxy is a free, open source software that provides a high availability load balancer and proxy server for TCP and HTTP based applications that spread requests across multiple servers. Here we will make two backend servers and one load balancer. At two backend servers enter the following commands— $sudo apt-get install apache2 $sudo apt-get install mysql-server $sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql $sudo gedit /var/www/html/index.html (Make some changes in t

Network Connection verification and Troubleshooting commands in Windows

To ensure the proper network connection in the system, we do the following three types of checking: --- Check the NIC card --- Check whether we have an IP or not or our gateway is active or not by a ping test ----- Check if the port no or the service is active or not To check the connection go to command prompt and enter the commands >ping localhost then NIC working. >ping 172.29.0.1 then gateway working >ipconfig In computing, ipconfig (internet protocol configuration) is a console application (command line tool) in Microsoft Windows used to control the network connections on windows.It displays all current TCP/IP network configuration values and can modify DHCP and DNS settings. Usually, ipconfig command is used with the command-line switch /all. > ipconfig /all This command shows the various network configurations, MAC address, default gateway and IP addresses of different servers on the network like dns, DHCP etc
