What is modem?


Modem:
The word is made up of two words: “Mo” (modulation) and “Dem” (demodulation).

The work of modem is to convert the digital signal coming from the connected devices(computer) into analog signal and visa-versa so that it can be transferred via telephone line.

Now-a-days modem comes in built in the router so no one pay attention to it

There are a couple of different modems, and the one that will work for your situation depends on the internet connection that you have.

  • Cable – Cable modems use coaxial cables. One end connects to the back of the modem and the other end connects to your wall or to the back of your cable box. Cable internet is considered to be “high speed” internet.
  • DSL – DSL can either connect to an external modem (like cable, but a different plug-in), or your computer will already have an internal modem that will dial-in through your phone line. Unlike dial-up, you can still access the internet while talking on the phone.
  • Dial-Up – Dial-up is the oldest form of internet connection. It uses your phone line to connect to your ISP. Dial-up modems are much slower compared to cable and DSL. Also, if you only have one phone line you won’t be able to access the internet at the same, you’re talking on the phone.

Modem is used when we want only one device to get connected to internet.But when we want more than one device to connect to the internet then we connect router after modem.

TCP Segment

A TCP segment is made up of a TCP header and a data section. Source Port :  A source port is a high numbered port chosen from a special section of ports known as ephemeral ports. A source port is needed so that when the web server replies, the computer making the original request can send this data to the program that was actually requesting it. It is in this way that when it web server responds to your requests to view a web page that this response gets received by your web browser and not your word processor. Destination Port : port on which the client in request the data( The destination port is the port of the service the traffic is intended for ) Sequence Number :This is a 32-bit number that's used to keep track of where in a sequence of TCP segments this one is expected to be.There are limits to the total size of what we send across the wire. In Ethernet frame, it's usually limited in size to 1,518 bytes, but we usually need to send way more data than that. At the transp...

Troubleshooting and debugging

Troubleshooting is the process of identifying, analyzing, and solving problems.  Debugging is the process of identifying, analyzing, and removing bugs in a system. We sometimes use troubleshooting and debugging interchangeably.  But generally, we say troubleshooting when we're fixing problems in the system running the application, and debugging when we're fixing the bugs in the actual code of the application. Debuggers let us follow the code line by line, inspect changes in variable assignments, interrupt the program when a specific condition is met, and more. System calls are the calls that the programs running on our computer make to the running kernel.   A reproduction case is a way to verify if the problem is present or not. Where to check for log file in OS? On Linux , you'd read system logs like /var/log/syslog and user-specific logs like the .xsession-errors file located in the user's home directory. On MacOs , on top of the system logs, you'd go through...
