Visualising Data

This 4 min video is a brief but helpful introduction to the benefits of visualising data.

The downside is it's a Tableau sales pitch, but it's a helpful reminder that humans are built to see visuals, rather than numbers.

"Ethernet is a layer 2 protocol, and yes -- Token Ring is another one, as is ATM, Frame Relay, etc. IP is layer 3 and can run on all of those layer 2 protocols. MAC addresses are specific to Ethernet, but the other layer 2 protocols have a similar way of identifying hardware devices/NICs/interfaces... Frame Relay has DLCI, ATM has PVCs, etc. IP can run on LOTS of different protocols, but these days, the most prominent is over Ethernet."
https://www.reddit.com/r/networking/comments/2wmruf/can_someone_eli5_ethernet/
I find this description useful as it is informal,  concise and simplified.

" The entire backbone of the Internet is giant bundles of fiber optic cables. What changes with different types of Internet is what happens on the last mile- how it actually gets to your house.

If those fiber optic cables are connected to the phone network, you have DSL.

If the fiber optic cables are connected to a coaxial cable, you have cable Internet.

If one of those fiber optic cables goes right to your door, you have fiber optic Internet, like FiOS.

And if those fiber optic cables are connected to a giant radio transmitter, you have cellular broadband.

Once it's in your house, you basically have two options: you can either send the signal through an Ethernet cable that you plug into your computer or you can buy yourself a small radio transmitter to make a short-range wireless network in your house- this is Wi-Fi."

Data visualization is both an art and a science. It is viewed as a branch of descriptive statistics by some, but also as a grounded theory development tool by others.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The term 'WiFi Network' refers to any kind of networking that does not involve cables. It is a technique that helps entrepreneurs and telecommunications networks to save the cost of cables for networking in specific premises in their installations. The transmission system is usually implemented and administrated via radio waves where the implementation takes place at physical level.
Notes: This is image to elaborate basic visual functionality of wireless networks
What are the Types of Wireless Networks?

There are four basic types of wireless networks. Types of wireless networks are defined on the bases of their size (that is the number of machines), their range and the speed of data transfer.
Wireless PAN - Personal area network Wireless Personal Area Networks
1 - Wireless Pan
2- Wireless Lan
3 -Wireless Man
4- Wireless Wan
Wireless LAN - Local Area Network
Such networks interconnect devices in small premises usually within the reach of a person for example invisible infra red light and Bluetooth radio interconnects a headphone to a laptop by the virtue of WPAN. With the installation of Wi-Fi into customer electronic devices the Wi-Fi PANs are commonly encountered.

The simplest wireless distribution method that is used for interlinking two or more devices providing a connection to wider internet through an access point. OFDM or spread-spectrum technologies give clients freedom to move within a local coverage area while remaining connected to the LAN. LAN's data transfer speed is typically 10 Mbps for Ethernet and 1 Gbps for Gigabit Ethernet. Such networks could accommodate as many as hundred or even one thousand users.
Wireless WAN
Wireless MAN - Metropolitan Area Networks
The wireless network that is used to connect at high speed multiple wireless LANs that are geographically close (situates anywhere in a few dozen kilometers). The network allows two or more nodes to communicate with each other as if they belong to the same LAN. The set up makes use of routers or switches for connecting with high-speed links such as fiber optic cables. WiMAX described as 802.16 standard by the IEEE is a type of WMAN.
Mobile devices networks
WAN is the wireless network that usually covers large outdoor areas. The speed on such network depends on the cost of connection that increases with increasing distance. The technology could be used for interconnecting the branch offices of a business or public internet access system. Developed on 2.4GHz band these systems usually contain access points, base station gateways and wireless bridging relays. Their connectivity with renewable source of energy makes them stand alone systems. The most commonly available WAN is internet.

The advent of smart phones have added a new dimension in telecommunications , referred as " Mobile communication "; today's telephones are not meant to converse only but to carry data.

GSM - Global System for Mobile Communications Global System for Mobile Communications is categorized as the base station system, the operation and support system and the switching system. The mobile phone is initially connected to the base system station that establishes a connection with the operation and support station that later on connects to the switching station where the call is made to the specific user.

PCS - Personal Communications Service is a radio band that is employed in South Asia and North America; the first PCS service was triggered by Sprint.

D-AMPS Digital Advanced Mobile Phone Service is the upgraded version of AMPS that is faded away due to technological advancements.

TAN - Tiny Area Network and CANs - Campus Area Networks are two other types of networks. TAN is similar to LAN but comparatively smaller (two to three machines) where CAN resembles MAN (with limited bandwidth between each LAN network).

The Utility of Wireless Networks

The development of wireless networks is still in progress as the usage is rapidly growing. Personal communications are made easy with the advent of cell phones where radio satellites are used for networking between continents. Whether small or big, businesses uses wireless networks for fast data sharing with economical means. Sometimes compatibility issues with new devices might arise in these extremely vulnerable networks but the technology has made the uploading and the downloading of huge data a piece of cake with least maintenance cost.

WEP - Wired Equivalent Privacy as well as firewalls could be used for securing the network. Wireless networks are the future of global village. For referring to security of wireless LAN networks you can refer to related articles in section below

Dean Barlow
gives a simple easy to understand explanation of Ethernet cable.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
AnEthernet port (aka jack or socket) is an opening on computer network equipment that Ethernet cables plug into. Their purpose is to connect wired network hardware in a local area network (LAN), metropolitan area network (MAN), or wide area network (WAN).

You might see an Ethernet port on the back of your computer or laptop. A router usually has several Ethernet ports to accommodate multiple wired devices on a network.

An Ethernet port accepts a cable that has an RJ-45 connector. The alternative to using such a cable with an Ethernet port is Wi-Fi, which eliminates the need for both the cable and its port.

Note: Ethernet is pronounced with a long "e" like the word eat.

What Ethernet Ports Look Like

An Ethernet port is a little wider than a phone jack. Because of this, it's impossible to neatly fit an Ethernet cable into a phone jack, which makes it a little easier when you're plugging cables in - you can't really plug it into the wrong port.

The picture at the top of this article is a really good demonstration of what an Ethernet port looks like. It's a square with a couple rigid areas at the bottom. As you can also see in the picture, the yellow Ethernet cable is built the same way.

Ethernet Ports on Computers

Most desktop computers include one built-in Ethernet port for connecting the device to a wired network.

A computer's built-in Ethernet port is connected to its internal Ethernet network adapter, which is attached to the motherboard.

Laptops usually have an Ethernet port too, so that you can hook it up to a network that doesn't have wireless capabilities. A notable exception is the MacBook Air, which doesn't have an Ethernet port but does support connecting an Ethernet dongle to its USB port.

Tip: If you have internet connectivity issues, the Ethernet port is probably the first place you should look because the cable might be unplugged. This is especially the case if the computer or laptop was recently moved, which can easily knock the cable out of the Ethernet port.

Ethernet Ports on Routers

All popular broadband routers feature Ethernet ports, and usually a few of them. This is how multiple wired computers in a network can reach the internet and the other connected devices on the network.

An uplink port (also called WAN port) is a special Ethernet jack on routers that's used specifically for connecting to a broadband modem. Wireless routers include a WAN port and typically four additional Ethernet ports for wired connections.

Ethernet Ports on Consumer Electronics

Many other types of consumer gadgets now also include Ethernet ports for home networking, like video game consoles, digital video recorders, and even some newer televisions.

Another example is Google's Chromecast, for which you can buy an Ethernet adapter so that you can use your Chromecast without Wi-Fi.

We live and work in an untethered world, and your small business is no different. When you initially built your network, you may not have seen the need for wireless. Now that your company has grown and your workforce has become more mobile, you may be considering adding wireless to your network. Wireless offers a lot of benefits, such as allowing your employees to work from anywhere and providing Internet access to visiting guests.

If you've been looking at adding wireless connectivity to your company's network, you know it can be confusing. There's the alphabet soup of standards-"b," "g," "n"- and terms like "dual-band," "selectable," and "two radio." What does it all mean? Below, I explain the basics so you can better understand which wireless router best fits your needs.
Know your Standards
When looking for a wireless router, you first want to check whether it's "b," "g," or "n." The letters refer to the wireless communication standard on which the router is based: 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n. The first generation of wireless routers was "b," followed by "g," and now "n"-the newest generation. The primary difference among the router standards is speed (more on that in a bit) and range.

You won't find many "b" routers available anymore (except on eBay, perhaps) because it's old technology. If you're currently using "b" routers on your network, you should consider upgrading.
Single band vs. Dual band
Wireless communications operate in two bands-2.4GHz and 5GHz. Routers based on 802.11b and 802.11g standards-and some "n" routers-use the 2.4GHz band; however, the 802.11n standard allows wireless devices to use the 5GHz or 2.4GHz band. Routers that operate only in the 2.4GHz band are referred to as "single band".. Wireless "n" dual-band routers are also available as "selectable" or "simultaneous" models, sometimes referred to as "single radio" or "two radio," respectively. A selectable wireless "n" router, such as the Cisco RV220W can operate in either 2.4GHz or 5GHz mode; a simultaneous "n" device can operate in both frequencies at the same time.

In Wi-Fi wireless networking, dual band is the capability to transmit on the 5 GHz band of 802.11a and also the 2.4 GHz band used by 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n. Unlike ordinary Wi-Fi equipment that only supports one signal band, dual-band routers contain two different types of wireless radios that can support connections on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz.

The 2.4GHz band is the same frequency used by a lot of other wireless devices, such as cordless phones and microwave ovens. Because there are more devices competing for space in this band resulting in interference and congestion, and it may affect how well the router performs both in speed and consistency. The 5GHz band provides better performance and coverage due to less interference.
Speed
Wireless router performance varies by standard with 802.11b providing the slowest speeds at up to 11Mbps. Wireless "g" routers deliver a maximum speed of 54Mbps while devices based on the 802.11n standard are fastest, topping out at 300Mbps.

If you're thinking faster is better, there's one thing to keep in mind: a wireless router can't go any faster than your Internet connection allows. So, under most conditions, a wireless "n" device may only perform at speeds up to 100Mbps. Still, a faster wireless router will increase the speed of your network, allowing employees to access the data they need and making them more productive.
Security
Most routers currently support standard WEP securities as well as the more secure WPA and WPA2. If you want to control what users can access when they are connected to the router, you want to have one that offers decent Access Controls. Cisco's RV Series Routers have very effective Access Control settings and controls that allow limiting internet use based on time of day. Guest Access and an ability to create multiple SSIDs are also important security measures if you are using the router for a small business. Together, these two features allow you to segment your network into separate areas for guests and trusted users.
Wired Connectivity
Most wireless routers have Ethernet ports for hard-wiring devices to can take advantage of the greater transmission speeds that wired Ethernet has over a wireless connection. For faster transmission rates, invest in a router that has Gigabit Ethernet ports like the Cisco RV220W. Use the Gigibit Ethernet ports to wire devices that access high bandwidth applications such as video and voice, NAS drives, or any other type of multimedia server that have Gigabit Ethernet adapters to take advantage of the faster performance.
Single WAN or Dual-WAN
There's one other option to consider when deciding which wireless router will best fit your company's needs-dual WAN. All wireless routers provide a single WAN port that connects your company to the Internet. However, if that port should fail,your business loses access to other offices and any employees working remotely. A wireless router with dual WAN ports, such as the Cisco RV042 Dual WAN VPN Router, ensures reliable connectivity by providing a second link to the Internet and is suitable for businesses that run mission critical applications and cannot afford network downtime.

An article explaining Ethernet and Ethernet cable types.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Ethernet is the traditional technology for connecting wired local area networks (LANs), enabling devices to communicate with each other via a protocol -- a set of rules or common network language.

As a data-link layer protocol in the TCP/IP stack, Ethernet describes how network devices can format and transmit data packets so other devices on the same local or campus area network segment can recognize, receive and process them. An Ethernet cable is the physical, encased wiring over which the data travels.

Any device accessing a geographically localized network using a cable -- i.e., with a wired rather than wireless connection -- likely uses Ethernet -- whether in a home, school or office setting. From businesses to gamers, diverse end users depend on the benefits of Ethernet connectivity, including reliability and security.

Compared to wireless LAN technology, Ethernet is typically less vulnerable to disruptions -- whether from radio wave interference, physical barriers or bandwidth hogs. It can also offer a greater degree of network security and control than wireless technology, as devices must connect using physical cabling -- making it difficult for outsiders to access network data or hijack bandwidth for unsanctioned devices.

How Ethernet works

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE) specifies in the family of standards called IEEE 802.3 that the Ethernet protocol touches both Layer 1 -- the physical layer -- and Layer 2 -- the data link layer -- on the OSI network protocol model. Ethernet defines two units of transmission: packet and frame. The frame includes not just the payload of data being transmitted, but also:

the physical media access control (MAC) addresses of both the sender and receiver;

VLAN tagging and quality of service information; and

error correction information to detect transmission problems.

Each frame is wrapped in a packet that contains several bytes of information to establish the connection and mark where the frame starts.

Engineers at Xerox first developed Ethernet in the 1970s. Ethernet initially ran over coaxial cables, while a typical Ethernet LAN today uses special grades of twisted pair cables or fiber optic cabling. Early Ethernet connected multiple devices into network segments through hubs -- Layer 1 devices responsible for transporting network data -- using either a daisy chain or star topology.

Evolution of Ethernet

If two devices that share a hub try to transmit data at the same time, however, the packets can collide and create connectivity problems. To alleviate these digital traffic jams, the IEEE developed the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection ( CSMA/CD) protocol, which allows devices to check whether a given line is in use before initiating new transmissions.

Later, Ethernet hubs largely gave way to network switches, their more sophisticated and modern counterparts. Because a hub cannot discriminate between points on a network segment, it can't send data directly from point A to point B. Instead, whenever a network device sends a transmission via an input port, the hub copies the data and distributes it to all the available output ports.

In contrast, a switch intelligently sends any given port only the traffic intended for its devices rather than copies of any and all the transmissions on the network segment -- improving security and efficiency.

Types of Ethernet cables

The IEEE 802.3 working group approved the first Ethernet standard in 1983. Since then, the technology has continued to evolve and embrace new media, higher transmission speeds and changes in frame content -- e.g., 802.3ac to accommodate VLAN and priority tagging -- and functional requirements -- e.g., 802.3af to define Power over Ethernet (POE), which is crucial to most Wi-Fi and IP telephony deployments. Wi-Fi standards -- IEEE 802.11a, b, g, n, ac and ax -- define the equivalent of Ethernet for Wireless LANs.

Ethernet standard IEEE 802.3u ushered in 100BASE-T -- also known as Fast Ethernet -- with data transmission speeds of up to 100 megabits per second ( Mbps). The term BASE-T indicates the use of twisted-pair cabling.

Gigabit Ethernet boasts speeds of 1,000 Mbps -- 1 gigabit or 1 billion bits per second -- 10-Gigabit Ethernet (GbE), up to 10 Gbps, and so on. Network engineers use 100BASE-T largely to connect end-user computers, printers and other devices; to manage servers and storage; and to achieve higher speeds for network backbone segments. Over time, the typical speed of each connection tends to increase.

Ethernet cables connect network devices to the appropriate routers or modems, with different cables working with different standards and speeds. The Category 5 (CAT5) cable supports traditional and 100BASE-T Ethernet, for example, while Category 5e (CAT5e) can handle Gigabit Ethernet and Category 6 (CAT6) works with 10 GbE.
