This guide explores the key protocols used in VCU's wireless networking, focusing on TCP/IP and UDP. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is essential for reliable data transmission, capable of recovering lost packets, making it ideal for web, FTP, and streaming services. In contrast, UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is faster on high-quality networks but does not guarantee delivery, making it suitable for applications like multiplayer games and network monitoring. Other essential protocols, including HTTP and SMTP, facilitate various online services. Effective networking is fundamental to bioinformatics research.
E N D
Network Protocols • TCP/IP • Relatively fast • Primary Internet Protocol • Stateful supports lost packets • Allows just lost packets to be resent • UDP • Faster than TCP on high quality networks • Lost packets require complete resend
Examples Uses of Protocols • UDP • Multi-player games • Network Monitoring • TCP • Web • Ftp • Internet Streaming Media • Video • Audio
Other Protocols • HTTP (Hyper-Text Transport Protocol) • Ftp (File Transfer Protocol) • SMTP (Simple Mail Transport Protocol) • Used for moving messages between servers • IMAP (Internet Mail Access Protocol) • Mail protocol (used for email access)
Important things to Remember • Virtually every aspect of Bioinformatics depends on reliable networking • Networking is simple (until it breaks) • In Case of Difficulty, see above
