Question

Explain how various types of messages travel through network layers from the origination to their destination. Include any analog to digital converting steps if needed and determine possible reasons as to why the network has slowed down.

Answer 1

Answer)

There are different forms of messages like normal text, media, video, email, etc while if there would have been a single communication then no other messages would have been transmitted in this form and hence no other device devices would be able to receive or send and hence the data transfer would have been in progress always.

There should be normal text and video are having multiple communication which is interleaved and in turn provide every user a part of their bandwidth, while there is some other message type like media file, video, which undergo segmentation where the communication process is broken for transmission. There is another form called the multiplexing wherein the pieces are interleaved as they keep traversing media.

Mostly segmentation is used for enhancing the reliability of network communication and the separate pieces of every message will not require to travel the same pathway via the network from source to the destination.

The data or the messages are first converted into binary digits or bits which traverse the pathway while mostly not the same pathway via the network from that of the source to destination which ensures the piece of the message would be successfully delivered.

Some of the processes involved for network communication are 1) routing, 2) encapsulation, 3) decapsulation and 4) addressing.

It is in the network layer where the messages are created by that of the application layer and finally turned and broken into smaller messages, the route is then identified and information is passes using the data link layer.

Reason for slowness is as below:

1) When there is an imperfect architectural design

2) In case there is a speed mismatch, or if the path is corrupted and has malware

3) When the data package has been misused

4) When there is poor cable associated and is the equipment is malfunctioned

5) If there is a junk software present
