Benefits of leased line

Benefits of leased line Fee for the connection is fixed monthly rate, can vary with the speed, distance or on package customization basis. Thus it is affordable, faster data transfer rates and are cost-effective. It can be divided into different lines for data and voice communication or use the channel for one high speed data […]

Leased line connections

Leased line connections Leased line connection are mostly used in our homes and offices and PTCL (Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited) telephone connection is one of its examples which is in fact a Point-to-Point connection between two computers set up by a common carrier. Initially it was a normal dial-up connection, a leased line which was […]

Understanding about the concept of LAN topologies

Understanding about the concept of LAN topologies I will explain this concept with the help of an example which was my assignment during MCS 3rd Semester. Query: XYZ Company has two offices in Multan. Each office has 40 systems. Network administrator want to connect both offices, as for as he has no budget issues. Following […]

Multiplexing

Multiplexing Multiplexing is used in that situation where we have to combine multiple analog message signals or digital data streams over a shared medium instead of dedicated medium. The situation in fact comes up with sharing of the same medium for more than one purpose. Such a way it divides the capacity of the low-level […]

The overall data transmission rate with disk drive latency 7 ms, and a burst bandwidth of 2 MB per second

The overall data transmission rate with disk drive latency 7 ms, and a burst bandwidth of 2 MB per second Query: A 4 K byte block of data is read from a disk drive. What is the overall data transmission rate if the disk drive has a latency of 7 ms, and a burst bandwidth […]

The fraction of CPU time handling the data transfer with and without DMA

The fraction of CPU time handling the data transfer with and without DMA Query: An I/O device transfers data at a rate of 5MB/s over a 100MB/s bus. The data is transferred in 2KB blocks. If the processor operates at 500MHz, and it takes a total of 5000 cycles to handle each DMA request, find […]

synchronous and asynchronous

synchronous and asynchronous Both works on their appropriate places but asynchronous design is very complex and filled with dangers for new and for experienced designers as well. Synchronous design is preferred over asynchronous. Asynchronous design often involve multiple level combination circuits, flip-flops and macro functions such as counters and shift registers. These structures don’t help […]

states does a mod-14 counter have

states does a mod-14 counter have States = 2^n Where n = no of flip flops Here n = 4 So States = 24=16 Mod 14 can calculate 16 states
