Write a note on I/O mapped I/O.

1.Port-mapped I/O often uses a special class of CPU instructions designed specifically for performing I/O, such as the IN and OUT instructions found on microprocessors based on the x86 andx86-64 architectures.

2.These two instructions can copy one, two or four bytes (outb, outw, outl) between the EAX register or one of that register's subdivisions on the CPU and a specified I/O port which is assigned to an I/O device. 

3.I/O devices have a separate address space from general memory, either accomplished by an extra "I/O" pin on the CPU's physical interface, or an entire bus dedicated to I/O. 

4.Because the address space for I/O is isolated from that for main memory, this is sometimes referred to as isolated I/O.

Absolute Links vs. Relative Links – SEO Value

Absolute Links vs. Relative Links – SEO Value The debate between  absolute links and relative links  continues to live on in the SEO world. The individual significance of each has been contested, but it is widely regarded that absolute links provide better SEO value on the whole than relative links. Many believe that absolute links have less potential for getting messed up when search engines index your page. It shouldn’t really make a difference, but many conclude that this is reason enough.

Explain network classes.

43.Explain network classes. Ans. 1. TCP/IP network are 4 bytes long, called IP addresses and written in dotted-decimal notation. (ex. 192.168.166.5) 2. The decimal numbers must be within the numeric range of 0-255, each IPv4 addresses consist of 4 parts. 3. Each part should conform to the 1-byte requirement. 4. Depending on the value of the first byte of the address, IP addresses can be divided into classes. 5. Network classes are of 3 type and have some specific range • Class A 0-127 • Class B 128-191 • Class C 192-233 6. Class division enables us efficient use of the address numbers. 7. Assigned network numbers are maintained in a database managed by InterNIC to insure that each assignment is unique. 8. After obtaining a network number, the host numbers may be assigned as required, for data transfer ARP maps the IP address to the MAC address of the device. 9. Routers are used for transferring data between 2 devices, routers are default gateway ...
