Better be careful of the HAM guys if you’re networking.
What are the tradeoffs for wire choices? Why doesn’t everyone just use optical fiber? Cost, or are there other factors involved? Also, when comparing wireless technologies, are they all equally fast? Or just different reaches?
TCP/IP: defines the addressing, identification, and routing specification.
Bluetooth=PAN technology (Portable Area Network)
LAN (local) links several computer is one location. Is there a real difference between LAN and PAN beyond the 10 meter range? Perhaps it’s the reliance on firewire/USB rather than Ethernet more than range. Can LAN also be PAN then?
Intranets are apparently not internets, but web browsers and P2P. Internet on the other hand is actually the backbone of what I think the Internet is.
In firewalls, what makes one source safe and another unsafe. How is this determined?
“LAN” Wikipedia
Mostly use Ethernet and wi-fi. Ethernet is from 1973!
If at “higher layers” TCP/IP is the standard, why is TCP/IP based networking’s market share “much reduced”? Especially if the continue to be both standard and influential?
"Management of RFID in Libraries," Karen Coyle
An interesting premise, and it makes sense for books. However, it seems to become problematic as you move away from books to other media types. The fact that thin items can potentially cause the tags to interfere with other RFID tags seems particularly awkward. However, so long as you don’t care about where something is on the shelf, but use it primarily to checkout media and prevent it being stolen, then it seems like it would work fine. I wonder how the field has changed in 5-years, is RFID standard in library books? Was it deemed too time consuming or costly financially?
