Write the short note on the following:
(i)Web server (ii) Purpose of cookies (iii) Mesh topology
Answer: (i) Web Server A web server is software and hardware that uses the HyperText Transfer Protocol and some other protocols to respond to client requests made over the World Wide Web. The main job of a web server is to display website content through storing, processing and delivering web pages to users.
Web server hardware is connected to the Internet and allows data to be exchanged with other connected devices, while web server software controls how a user accesses hosted files. The web server process is an example of client/server model.
(ii) Purpose of Cookies Cookies are text files with small pieces of data — like a username and password — that are used to identify our computer as we use a computer network.
Specific cookies known as HTTP cookies are used to identify specific users and improve our web browsing experience. Data stored in a cookie is created by the server upon our connection. This data is labeled with an ID unique to us and our computer. When the cookie is exchanged between our computer and the network server, the server reads the ID and knows what information need to specifically serve to us.
(iii) Mesh Topology Mesh topology is an arrangement of the network in which computers are interconnected with each other through various redundant connections. There are multiple paths from one computer to another computer. It does not contain the switch, hub or any central computer which acts as a central point of communication. The Internet is an example of the mesh topology. Mesh topology is mainly used for WAN implementations where communication failures are a critical concern. Mesh topology is mainly used for wireless networks.
Mesh topology can be formed by using the formula: Number of cables = (n*(n-1))/2; where, n is the number of nodes that represents the network.
