In the real world, the systems can be a victim of a cyber-attack or even a natural disaster that can disturb the functionality of the server. In such cases, we need to recover the lost data as much as possible from another location where the data was backed up. Hence…

In 2008, Gustavo Niemeyer invented a geocoding method where geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) were encoded in short alphanumeric strings. The basic idea was first brought on by G.M. Morton in 1996. For a better understanding, let’s see an example, The latitude and longitude of Kathmandu, Nepal are 27.717245 and…

We might have heard about Octrees a few times. It is a tree data structure that is used for the partition of three-dimensional space. What most of us don’t know is that octrees also have a two-dimensional analog called Quadtrees. Where octrees had eight children for each node, quadtrees limits…

A cluster can be defined as a group of stuff. Likewise, a computer cluster is a group of computers that works for a common goal. …

In my previous article, we discussed Internet Protocol and IP addresses. Where IP addresses helped for the connection between devices, it's easier to remember names like youtube.com than the number 216.58.206.238. The system that translates IP addresses to a human-readable domain is called Domain Name System. …

When there is geographically distributed traffic for the websites, Content Delivery Network (CDN) helps with the fast delivery of the content with the help of a group of servers working together. These files usually have HTML/CSS files, JS files, photos, and so on which are handled by the CDN. This…

The ISO (International Organizations for Standard) OSI (Open System Interconnection) started developing in the late 1970s. By the year 1984, it was approved, and the model started implementing in real-time systems. The OSI model is a logical and conceptual model that opens an interconnection between any two systems. It uses…

Previously, we talked about IP addresses, their types, and the versions here. Now, we will see the differences between the two versions of IP addresses — IPv4 and IPv6. In the table of the difference between IPv4 and IPv6 presented below, we will discuss around 22 differences including deployment date…

We previously looked at IP (Internet Protocol) briefly when we discussed Network Protocol. In this article, we will check out the concept of IP addresses in a little more detail. Starting with the definition, the IP protocol is a fundamental layer of protocols that tells us how to implement communication…
