~ Term 2 Mini Project- Part 2 Research ~

This is part two of my half of the research for the mini project. This entry contains my response to question 3.

3. Are there any variations or types?

Routers:

Routers that are used by ISP and major enterprises usually use the Border Gateway Protocol when exchanging information. There are several types of BGP-speaking routers; Edge routers, Subscriber Edge routers, Inter-provider Border routers and Core routers. Edge routers are on the edge of an ISP network and communicate with other routers in another provider or enterprise. A Subscriber Edge router is located on the edge of the subscriber’s network, belonging to an end user organization. Inter-provider Border routers connect ISP’s by communicating with other BGP-speaking routers on other ISP’s. A Core router refers to the router that is in the middle, or is the backbone of the whole network.

Servers:

There are many different types of servers in existence for different purposes. These are as follows;

Server Platforms- The basis and engine that drives the server.
Application Servers- Occupy a large portion of the computing territory between the database server and the end user.
Audio/Video Servers- Brings and enables multimedia on websites for broadcast streaming.
Chat Servers- Enable a large number of users to exchange information through real-time discussions.
Fax Servers- Server used for faxing documents and to reduce incoming and outgoing telephone resources.
FTP Servers- File Transfer Protocol makes it possible to move multiple files securely between computers, providing security and transfer control.
Groupware Servers- Software designed for users to collaborate online, regardless of their location via the Internet.
IRC Servers- Internet Relay Chat consists of various other networks to allow users to connect with each other through real-time discussion.
List Servers- Used to manage mailing lists, one-way lists such as announcements, newsletters or advertising and open interactive discussion.
Mail Servers- Move and store mail over networks and across the Internet.
News Servers- Distributes the source of thousands of public news groups currently accessible.
Proxy Servers- Server that sits between the client and the external server and is used to filter requests, improve performance and share connections.
Telnet Servers- Server that enables users to log onto a host computer and perform tasks without being on the actual physical host computer.
Web Servers- Serves static content to a web browser by loading from files and serving it across the network to the browser.
