Orphan date September 2008 Taste networking , also called value networking , is a specific mode of social networking that uses personal tastes as a basis for making social connections in an online environment. Whereas the majority of existing social network service s use schools, workplaces, geographic locations or pre existing friends to connect users, sites that use the taste networking model use tastes and values. Assessing users preferences in any number of areas the model s pioneering site, MyTrybe covers the full spectrum of arts and entertainment categories music, film and TV, gaming, the visual arts, and so on, plus a variety of lifestyle topics food, travel, fashion and news , taste networking services connect users based on their similarities. The theory behind this model is that it allows users to make more personally relevant social connections than does the standard social networking model. By using more granular tastes and values, that is, rather than the broad commonalities implied by membership to a school, workplace, or the like, this model is able to make high quality, individually tailored connections. One major advantage of the concept is that it allows for the seamless integration of both online social networking and content delivery. Within a taste networking environment, content has a particular relevance social connections are made based on substantive preferences that can be expressed and tracked easily through content. And, since users are already filtered by their preferences in this model, content can be easily personalized as well. MyTrybe, for example, is a dual service, offering both social networking and social bookmarking platforms. It offers users the chance to network with others based on their shared taste, and to get personalized content recommendations through that network called a Trybe in this case .

notability date October 2011 Unreferenced date November 2007 Distributed Networking is a distributed computing network system, said to be distributed when the computer programming and the data to be worked on are spread out over more than one computer, usually over a network. Prior to low cost computer power on the desktop, computing was centralized. Although such centers still exist, distribution networking applications and data operate more efficiently over a mix of desktop workstations, local area network servers, regional servers, Web servers, and other servers. A popular trend has been client server computing which is simply the view that a client computer can provide certain capabilities for a user and request others from other computers that provide services for the clients. The World Wide Web Web s Hypertext Transfer Protocol is an example of this idea. Enterprises that have grown in scale over the years and those that are continuing to grow are finding it extremely challenging to manage their distributed network in the traditional client server computing model. The recent developments in the field of cloud computing has opened up new possibilities. Cloud based networking vendors have started to sprout offering solutions for enterprise distributed networking needs. Whether it turns out to revolutionize the distributed networking space or turns out to be another fad remains to be seen.

Active networking is a communication pattern that allows packets flowing through a telecommunications network to dynamically modify the operation of the network. How it works Active network architecture is composed of execution environments similar to a unix shell that can execute active packets , a Node networking node operating system capable of supporting one or more execution environments. It also consists of active hardware, capable of routing or switching as well as executing code within active packets. This differs from the traditional network architecture which seeks robustness and stability by attempting to remove complexity and the ability to change its fundamental operation from underlying network components. Network processor s are one means of implementing active networking concepts. Active networks have also been implemented as overlay network s. What does it offer? Active networking allows the possibility of highly tailored and rapid real time changes to the underlying network operation. This enables such ideas as sending code along with packets of information allowing the data to change its form code to match the channel characteristics. The smallest program that can generate a sequence of data can be found in the definition of Kolmogorov complexity . The use of real time Genetic Algorithm genetic algorithms within the network to compose network services is also enabled by active networking.

In peer to peer networking, a supernode is any node networking node that also serves as one of that network s relayers and proxy server s, handling data flow and connections for other users. This semi distributed architecture allows data to be decentralized without requiring excessive overhead at every node. However, the increased workload of supernodes generally requires additional network bandwidth computing bandwidth and Central processing unit CPU time. Some peer to peer designs allow for the user to control whether their node is a supernode others do not. For example, Skype by default is configured as a supernode, an issue that has caused controversy. Despite criticism, Skype has contended that supernodes on their network act only to maintain information about who is online at a given time, and are not used to route calls between users. Beginning with version 3.0, Skype allows users to avoid becoming a supernode by modifying the Windows Registry .

Image UDP encapsulation.svg 450px thumb Encapsulation sequence of user data in the TCP IP protocol stack. In computer network ing, encapsulation is a method of designing modular communication protocols in which logically separate functions in the network are abstraction computer science abstracted from their underlying structures by inclusion or information hiding within higher level objects. The physical layer is responsible for physical transmission of the data. Link encapsulation allows local area networking and IP provides global addressing of individual computers UDP adds application or process selection, i.e., the TCP and UDP port port specifies the service such as a web server Web or Trivial File Transfer Protocol TFTP server. In discussions of encapsulation, the more abstract layer is often called the upper layer protocol while the more specific layer is called the lower layer protocol . Sometimes, however, the terms upper layer protocol s and lower layer protocol s are used to describe the layers above and below IP, respectively. Encapsulation is a characteristic feature of most networking models, including the OSI Model and TCP IP suite of protocols.

In computer networking , upstream refers to the direction in which data can be transferred from the Client computing client to the Server computing server Uploading and downloading uploading . This differs greatly from Downstream computer science downstream not only in theory and usage, but also in that upstream speeds are usually at a premium. Fact date January 2009 Whereas downstream speed is important to the average home user for purposes of Uploading and downloading downloading content, uploads are used mainly for web server applications and similar processes where the sending of data is critical. Upstream speeds are also important to users of Peer to peer peer to peer software . File Upstream downstream.svg thumb upright 1.2 Residential services often have higher downstream rates than upstream, while business services are often symmetric. Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line ADSL and cable modem s are Symmetry asymmetric , with the upstream data rate much lower than that of its downstream. Symmetric connections such as Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line SDSL and T carrier T1 , however, offer identical upstream and downstream rates. If a node A on the Internet is closer fewer hops away to the Internet backbone than a node B, then A is said to be upstream of B or conversely, B is downstream of A. Related to this is the idea of upstream providers . An upstream provider is usually a large internet service provider ISP that provides Internet access to a local ISP. Hence, the word upstream also refers to the data connection between two ISPs.

Data packets often have to go through Router computing router s more generally Gateway telecommunications gateway s , if not several, before they reach their final destination. Each time packets are passed to the next router a hop occurs. To see how many hops it takes to get from one host to another ping or traceroute tracepath commands can be used . Hop Count The distance between two hosts. The hop count n means that n gateways separate the source host from the destination host. Hop Limit In IPv4 known as time to live , and Hop Limit in IPv6 , this field specifies a limit on the number of hops a packet is allowed before it should be discarded. This prevents packets from following a loop forever. Next Hop Routing term used for the next gateway to which packets should be forwarded along the path to their final destination. One technique to make content of a routing table smaller is called next hop routing . Next Hop Forwarding A routing table usually contains the IP address of a destination network and the IP address of the next gateway next hop along the path to the final network destination. Using a routing table to store a next hop for each known destination is called next hop forwarding . Therefore a given gateway only knows one step along the path, not the complete path to a destination. It is also key to know that the next hops listed in a routing table are on networks to which the gateway is directly connected to. References Comer, Douglas E.
