Meaning of IP address for package size, data transmission?
i want to know the meaning of data transmission rate, package size.. etc from IP addresd's four digits i.e. 121.125.125.03... How it is related to data communication,,,,
Your IP address has nothing inherently to do with your data transmission rate, your packet size, your package size (not a network term at all), or anything like that.
IP addresses are related to Data communication for the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. An IP Address is a place holder so that packets have a place to be directed from and to. Each and every device that connects to ANY TCP/IP network has to have a unique IP address on that network. Every computer that connects to the LARGEST TCP/IP network on the Planet, the Internet, we only have one, it isn't wireless. It has wires. Has to have a unique IANA routable, sometimes called Public, IP Address. At this time IPv4 is the standard framework of IP addressing most common. IPv4 will run out of unique Public IP addresses soon and IPv6 will replace it. Better networking with SCTP:: The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a reliable transport protocol that provides stable, ordered delivery of data between two endpoints (much like TCP) http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-sctp/?ca=dgr-lnxw01SCTPHOME |
Typically our DSL or Cable Network Ethernet Bridge has a unique Public IP address. Sometimes even our router or wireless router has one assigned to it.
Every domain has at least one sometimes more Public IP addresses assigned to it. When you visit http://www.yahoo.com you are actually visiting a unique Public IP address that is at a Data Center near you.
Data transmission rates are how fast data flows from one data device to another. They are measured in Bits and Bytes. They are not quite the same as Bits and Bytes for data on a hard drive though. In data communications a Kilobit is 1000 bits, it is abbreviated Kb. A KiloByte is 8000 bits or 1000 bytes, and it is abbreviate KB. Mb and MB are similarly disparate. Overview of TCP/IP and the Internet:: Most commercial TCP/IP software packages for PC-class systems include these two To accommodate different size networks, IP defines several address classes. http://www.garykessler.net/library/tcpip.htmlHOME |
Package size has nothing to do with data what so ever. We'll leave this one for the social category.
Packet size is the size of the data that is parsed to each separate logical container for delivery from one data device to another data device. Your packet size may vary based on your network's Multiplex Transmission Unit. Often called Maximum Transmission Unit or MTU for short. Most TCP/IP data packets are 1492 for Ethernet. Ethernet V2 has a 1500 MTU. Jumbo Frames supports 1500-9000 MTUs. FDDI supports an MTU of 4500.
TCP/IP is the most common form of communication on the planet.
Hope this sheds some light on the shadows.
Data transmission is the transfer of data from point-to-point often represented as an electro-magnetic signal over a physical point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communication channel. Examples of such channels are copper wires, optical fibers, wireless communication channels, and storage media. The term usually refers to digital communications (i.e. digital bit stream), but may include analog data transmission as well.
an Internet Protocol (IP) address consists of a numerical identification (logical address) that network management assigns to devices participating in a computer network utilizing the Internet Protocol for communication between its nodes. Although computers store IP addresses as binary numbers, they often display them in more human-readable notations, such as 192.168.100.1 (for IPv4), and 2001:db8:0:1234:0:567:1:1 (for IPv6). The role of the IP address has been characterized as follows: "A name indicates what we seek. An address indicates where it is. A route indicates how to get there.
Your IP has nothing to do with data transfer rates or package size.
The network that you connect to determines these. The IP address is basically just the address of your PC on a network.
