Description

On an Ethernet switching network, redundant links are used to implement link backup and enhance network reliability. However, the use of redundant links may produce loops, leading to broadcast storms and an unstable MAC address table. As a result, communication on the network may deteriorate or even be interrupted. To prevent loops, IEEE introduced the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). Devices running STP exchange STP Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) to discover loops on the network and block appropriate ports. This enables a ring topology to be trimmed into a loop-free tree topology, preventing infinite looping of packets and ensuring packet processing capabilities of devices. IEEE introduced the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) to improve the network convergence speed.

Fundamentals of Programming Trending!
Programming is the art of writing computer instructions in a language that the computer can interpret and/or understand. In this topic, we shall look at some basic definitions and introduce some basic concepts in programming. Definition 1. A computer is an electronic machine that accepts data as its input, process these data based on some instructions to produce information as it output. These instructions that guide a computer on how to process the data is what we refer to as a program.

CLIENT/SERVER COMPUTING Trending!
Client/Server is a term used to describe a computing model for the development of computerized systems. This model is based on the distribution of functions between two types of independent and autonomous processors: servers and clients. A client is any process that requests specific services from server processes.

INTER-PROCESS COMMUNICATION OR PROCESS SYNCHRONIZATION Trending!
Concurrent access to shared data may result in data inconsistency. Maintaining data consistency requires mechanisms to ensure the orderly execution of cooperating processes. Suppose that we wanted to provide a solution to the consumer-producer problem that fills all the buffers.

PROCESS SCHEDULING: Trending!
CPU is always busy in Multiprogramming. Because CPU switches from one job to another job. But in simple computers CPU sit idle until the I/O request granted. Scheduling is an important OS function. All resources are scheduled before use.(cpu, memory, devices…..) Process scheduling is an essential part of a Multiprogramming operating systems. Such operating systems allow more than one process to be loaded into the executable memory at a time and the loaded process shares the CPU using time multiplexing

COUNSELLING IN HIV AND AIDS Trending!
Counseling is a professional relationship between two or more people, one of whom is a trained counselor, and the other(s), a person or persons undergoing therapy. The relationship is aimed at helping the counselee identify his/her own strength and use it to solve their problems. Counselling refers to the skilled and principled use of relationships (rapport) to facilitate self–knowledge, emotional acceptance, growth and the optimal (maximum) development of personal resource.
