Answer
Manula Manjitha Restarting a router, also known as the good old "turn it off and on again" method, is a surprisingly effective fix for several common network issues. Here's when you might want to give it a try:
Slow Internet Speeds: If your internet feels like it's moving at a snail's pace, a quick router restart can often kick things back into high gear.
Intermittent Connectivity: If you're losing connection every now and then, a restart can help reset the connection and might solve the issue.
Device Connectivity Problems: Sometimes specific devices struggle to connect to the network. Restarting the router can help clear any minor glitches causing this.
After a Network Change: Made any changes to your network settings? A restart helps ensure all changes are correctly applied.
Overheating: Routers can get tired too, especially if they're on 24/7. Restarting can give it a little breather and cool things down.
To identify these issues, keep an eye on your internet speed, check if your device keeps losing the Wi-Fi signal, or if a particular device can't connect. Also, if your router feels hot to the touch, it might need a quick break.
Remember, restarting your router is like giving it a mini-vacation; it often comes back refreshed and ready to go!

Respected Researchers,
I have six i7 computers with 4 physical cores and each core with 2 threads and all are connected with LAN. Therefore, I want to run the GROMACS in parallel (cluster).
I have successfully mounted them using ssh, nfs and OpenMPI.
Afterwards I successfully installed GROMACS using below command.
cmake .. -DREGRESSIONTEST_DOWNLOAD=ON -DGMX_BUILD_OWN_FFTW=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DGMX_MPI=ON -DGMX_OPENMP=ON -DGMX_BUILD_UNITTESTS=ON -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=mpicc -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=mpicxx -DGMX_BUILD_MDRUN_ONLY=ON
Then I used "mpirun -np 12 gmx_mpi mdrun -ntomp 2 -npme 2" but it run on single computer only.
I think I am doing something wrong. Please help, I am very new in computers and commands.
Thank you

I have a LAN A and LAN B, different subnets. A device "Da" in LAN A wants to send data to another device "Db" in LAN B. There is physical connection (Cat6) between L2 switches of LAN A and LAN B. However there is no router in this architecture. Can the device "Da" ping or send data to device "Db" in this architecture ? Would be thankful for an answer or guidance ... The LAN I am talking about is the Ethernet IP LAN, IPv4 network.

Answer
First when we talk about VLAN hoping, you must know that it s related to L2 (switch) ... router or Layer 3 switch will be used just in normal communication scenario (that is not related to hopping). Your first task is to "convince" L2 switch that you are device capable to create trunk (sending BPDU) based on DTP protocol (I am familiar with cisco equipment) and to establish trunk. Trunk means that through trunk link switch will send data from every VLAN to you :). So Da should create trafic to Db in a way to perform tagging with VLAN ID where Db belongs. This frame will be send through trunk. Frame will arive to second switch he will read VLAN ID and pass frame to all ports that are associated with that VLAN and on all ports marked as trunk. Dd will send response, it will arive to switch. Switch will set VLAN ID (tag) to frame and forward to all ports that are associate with that VLAN and to all trunks...so response will arrive to your Db, but still there is problem if you want to communicate with Db ... why ... because Da willl detect that destination is in another subnet (same sa Db) and will set gateway MAC as destination MAC address, so Db will never process this request... there is option to send broadcast ... but this include additional modification.... so it easy to monitor traffic , but harder to communicate in common way... hope that this helped :)

What is meant by Network Segmentation, VLAN & VLAN Segment?
Thanks. :)
Relevant answer
Answer
A VLAN is a way to segment your network logically instead of physically. For example, in my home I have my wireless network connected to a VLAN segment made on my switch. By doing this I can route the wireless traffic (which I consider insecure and used for guests and friends) to the internet but do not allow the wireless traffic to go into my wired network (which is on another VLAN in the same switch). I also have a second wireless network which has the same rule but can also access the internal network printers through an access list in my router(also in the same switch). Note that, for the VLANs to work the switches need access lists that are provided by the router (or router/firewall).
The advantage of having this setup is that it controls the traffic any given segment sees by treating VLANs as separate entities needing a router for access. This provides security and efficiency. Also by having LANs logically segmented as VLANs can save you money since routers with many physical ports can be costly.

Fog Computing vs. Edge Computing?
What's the difference in the Internet of Things (IoT)?
The fundamental objective of the Internet of Things (IoT) is to obtain and analyze data from assets that were previously disconnected from most data processing tools.
This data is generated by physical assets or things deployed at the very edge of the network—such as motors, light bulbs, generators, pumps, and relays—that perform specific tasks to support a business process. The Internet of Things is about connecting these unconnected devices (things) and sending their data to the cloud or Internet to be analyzed.
In traditional IoT cloud architecture, all data from physical assets or things is transported to the cloud for storage and advanced analysis. Once in the cloud, the data is used for cognitive prognostics (that is, predictive maintenance, forensic failure analysis and process optimization).
Fog and edge computing in manufacturing and automation applications are network and system architectures that attempt to collect, analyze, and process data from these assets more efficiently than traditional cloud architecture. These architectures share similar objectives:
  • To reduce the amount of data sent to the cloud
  • To decrease network and Internet latency
  • To improve system response time in remote mission-critical applications.
However, there is a key difference between the two concepts. Both fog computing and edge computing involve pushing intelligence and processing capabilities down closer to where the data originates—at the network edge. The key difference between the two architectures is exactly where that intelligence and computing power is placed.
  • Fog computing pushes intelligence down to the local area network (LAN) level of network architecture, processing data in a fog node or IoT gateway.
  • Edge computing pushes the intelligence, processing power, and communication capabilities of an edge gateway or appliance directly into devices like PACs (programmable automation controllers).
In both architectures data is generated from the same source—physical assets such as pumps, motors, relays, sensors, and so on. These devices perform a task in the physical world such as pumping water, switching electrical circuits, or sensing the world around them. These are the “things” that make up the Internet of Things.
Fog computing
In fog computing, transporting data from things to the cloud requires many steps.
  1. First the electrical signals from things are traditionally wired to the I/O points of an automation controller (PLC or PAC). The automation controller executes a control system program to automate the things.
  2. Next the data from the control system program is sent to an OPC server or protocol gateway, which converts the data into a protocol Internet systems understand, such as MQTT or HTTP.
  3. Then the data is sent to another system, such as a fog node or IoT gateway on the LAN, which collects the data and performs higher-level processing and analysis. This system filters, analyzes, processes, and may even store the data for transmission to the cloud or WAN at a later date.
So fog computing involves many layers of complexity and data conversion. Its architecture relies on many links in a communication chain to move data from the physical world of our assets into the digital world of information technology. In a fog computing architecture, each link in the communication chain is a potential point of failure.
Edge computing
Edge computing simplifies this communication chain and reduces potential points of failure.
In edge computing, physical assets like pumps, motors, and generators are again physically wired into a control system where the PAC automates them by executing an onboard control system program. Intelligent PACs with edge computing capabilities collect, analyze, and process data from the physical assets they’re connected to—at the same time they’re running the control system program.
PACs then use edge computing capabilities to determine what data should be stored locally or sent to the cloud for further analysis. In edge computing, intelligence is literally pushed to the network edge, where our physical assets or things are first connected together and where IoT data originates.
Edge computing saves time and money by streamlining IoT communication, reducing system and network architecture complexity, and decreasing the number of potential failure points in an IoT application. Reducing system architecture complexity is key to the success of IIoT applications.

How can configure two network connections in one Desktop computer like 1. Intranet for LAN and 2. for Internet connection?
We have two network connection in our organization:
1. for Intranet only for inside organization
2. for Internet for sending email for outside the world.
How I can use or configure the two networks in one computer in one time?
Relevant answer
Answer
If the intranet application is being hosted by a particular server and you need it for just sharing of files/pdfs/videos/etc then you can connect to the host IP and port via a network drive (using Map Network Drive).
If intranet gives all functionalities as internet, and the difference is just that the recipients are different (one is a public network and other private), then you can enable a virtual ethernet port and a virtual IP from your device (say eth 1) and you can connect to the private intranet via that port. Details of enabling a virtual port/VLAN could be searched online. If you are using a virtual port then Switch need not be needed, in case of VLAN switch would be needed

Question

I have a 96 microtiter plate containing saline about 10 cm from a wifi router. Both are contained in an incubator held at 25 C. There is no thermal effect from the router on the microtiter plate. Each of the cells in the 96 plate contain 300 uL of saline.
The router is a Linksys E1200 (2.4 GHz). It states an output power of 19 dBm which is around 100mW. The antenna gain is 4 dbi.
I understand that there are a few bands associated with 2.4GHz. Is the output power stated about per band or shared between the bands?
The antenna gain suggests some directional. I guess that the main lobe in the wifi distribution is perpendicular to the front side of the unit. Is this correct?
Since my incubator is metallic, am I going to see some standing waves?
When the router is initially turned on (with no LAN connection) there is still a signal. When I connect the LAN cable the green light flashes at the rear of the unit.
What is the difference in signal that my saline sees with the 3 cases of no LAN connection, LAN connection and no active use, and LAN connection and, say downloading videos?
Thanks.

Answer
First: Google IEEE 802.11. That is the Wi-fi standard. It will anwer most of your questions.
Then: 802.11n is a more robust standard, since it uses multiple antennas.  Are you able to test your setup With 802.11n?

Answer
With questions like this one I always advise to take a step back: What is your goal? What are the requirements on the system you're building (functionalities, number of users, performance requirements) as well as constraints (technologies available, budget, availability of a dedicated programmer) etc. Asking if you can do "it" in VB.NET is premature when you haven't even laid down what "it" is. Also, if VB.NET is available, so should be C#, and possibly other technology choices, so don't limit yourself from the outset but list the advantages and shortcomings of each of them.
