Anything and Everything

Front End Processor (FEP) A  front end processor  (FEP), or a  communications processor , is a small-sized  computer  which interfaces to the  host computer  a number of  networks , such as  SNA , or a number of  peripheral devices , such as  terminals ,  disk units ,  printers  and  tape units . Data is transferred between the host computer and the front end processor using a high-speed  parallel interface . The front end processor communicates with peripheral devices using slower  serial interfaces , usually also through communication networks. The purpose is to off-load from the host computer the work of managing the peripheral devices, transmitting and receiving messages, packet assembly and disassembly, error detection, and error correction. [1]  Two examples are the  IBM 3705 Communications Controller  and the  Burroughs  Data Communications Processor. MORE BLOGS A...

          Different  Types Of Switching techniques In large networks, there can be multiple paths from sender to receiver. The switching technique will decide the best route for data transmission. Switching technique is used to connect the systems for making one-to-one communication.

In the Circuit Switching Technique, once the connection is established then the dedicated path will remain to exist until the ...
