How the Internet and networking works


A corny, but incredibly funny video of how the Internet and networking works from the Ericsson MediaLab. The video was made in the late 90s using pretty rudimentary computer animation, but for any tech head, that matters not. The Router, with his collision-prone tendencies, will make you chuckle. Those pesky AppleTalk packets will slow down your network. And beware the Pings of Death!
I just found the video on my hard drive in an archive folder; I think my Dad gave it to me on a CD sometime around 2000. It is not only a pretty good overview of networking terminology and functionality, but also a pretty good way to pass 12 minutes of your time.

What is the term Multiplexing in data transmission ?

  Multiplexing is the technique of combining multiple signals into a single signal for transmission over a communication channel. In data transmission, multiplexing allows multiple users to share a single communication channel, maximizing its use and increasing efficiency. There are several types of multiplexing used in data transmission, including: Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM): This technique divides the available frequency range into multiple non-overlapping sub-channels, each of which can be used by a separate signal. Each signal is modulated onto a separate carrier frequency and combined into a single composite signal for transmission. FDM is commonly used in analog systems, such as radio and television broadcasting. Time Division Multiplexing (TDM): This technique divides the available time into multiple time slots, with each slot dedicated to a separate signal. Each signal is transmitted in its designated time slot, and the signals are interleaved in time to create a com
