Freenet works by storing small encrypted snippets of content distributed on the computers of its users and connecting only through intermediate computers which pass on requests for content and sending them back without knowing the contents of the full file, similar to how routers on the Internet route packets without knowing anything about files — except with caching, a layer of strong encryption, and without reliance on centralized structures.

MIPS cores can be found in newer Cisco, Linksys and Mikrotik's routerboard routers, cable modems and ADSL modems, smartcards, laser printer engines, set-top boxes, robots, handheld computers, Sony PlayStation 2 and Sony PlayStation Portable.

The most familiar type of routers are home and small office routers that simply pass data, such as web pages and email, between the home computers and the owner's cable or DSL modem, which connects to the Internet through an ISP.

Modern high-speed routers are highly specialized computers with extra hardware added to speed both common routing functions, such as packet forwarding, and specialised functions such as IPsec encryption.

A small number of devices ( typically infrastructure devices such as routers and concentrators rather than host computers ) connect to both rings-hence the term " dual-attached ".

Host computers then connect as single-attached devices to the routers or concentrators.

It is therefore useful for booting computers such as routers which may not have any data storage devices.

End instruments that relate to data terminal equipment include printers, computers, barcode readers, automated teller machines ( ATMs ) and the console ports of routers.

SRAM is also used in personal computers, workstations, routers and peripheral equipment: internal CPU caches and external burst mode SRAM caches, hard disk buffers, router buffers, etc.

This term is also generally used in the Telco and Cisco equipment context to designate a network device, such as terminals, personal computers but also routers and bridges, that's unable or configured not to generate clock signals.

Although it was possible to use IP routing to connect multiple Ethernet networks together, the VAX-11 / 780 computers commonly used as routers cost $ 400, 000 each at that time, and their total throughput was significantly less than Ethernet speeds.

This logical addressing structure permits the selective routing of IP packets across multiple networks via special gateway computers, called routers, to a destination host if the network prefixes of origination and destination hosts differ, or sent directly to a target host on the local network if they are the same.

* A network administrator maintains network infrastructure such as switches and routers, and diagnoses problems with these or with the behavior of network-attached computers.

Early in the 21st century, home LAN convergence so rapidly integrated home routers, wireless access points, and DSL modems that users were hard put to identify the resulting box they used to connect their computers to their Internet service.

Besides desktop computers the PowerPC G4 is popular in embedded environments, like routers, telecom switches, imaging, media processing, avionics and military applications, where one can take advantage of the AltiVec and its SMP capabilities.

Most of today's consumer electronics are now RoHS compliant, examples include Apple's iPod portable music players, Dell and HP home computers and servers, Nintendo's Wii, Motorola and Nokia's wireless phones, Netgear routers, and Panasonic televisions and appliances.

This part of the STDN consists of infrastructure and computers dedicated to monitor network traffic flow, such as fiber optic links, routers and switches.

For example: Webvan placed a $ 1 billion ( USD ) order with engineering company Bechtel to build its warehouses, bought a fleet of delivery trucks, purchased 30 Sun Microsystems Enterprise 4500 servers, dozens of Compaq ProLiant computers and several Cisco Systems model 7513 and 7507 routers, as well as more than 80 21-inch ViewSonic color monitors, and at least 115 Herman Miller Aeron chairs ( at over $ 800 each ).

In computer networking, a mangled or invalid packet is a packet — especially IP packet — that either lacks order or self-coherence, or contains code aimed to confuse or disrupt computers, firewalls, routers, or any service present on the network.

The model is written using the Common Information Model standard and the DMTF has published many models for commonly-managed devices and services: IP routers, storage servers, desktop computers, etc.

Compared to the cost and time involved in setting up an entire test bed containing multiple networked computers, routers and data links, network simulators are relatively fast and inexpensive.

With the help of simulators, one can design hierarchical networks using various types of nodes like computers, hubs, bridges, routers, switches, links, mobile units etc.

With Parallel SCSI subsystems, SAF-TE is used in computers, mostly in blade servers, where server blades reside on one side and the peripheral ( power, networking, and other I / O ) and service modules reside on the other.

This, combined with their excellent power consumption and heat dissipation properties, makes them very suitable for embedded computers.

However, alternative forms of computing technology are anticipated which may have superior processing power than classical computers.

It is specifically intended for real-time and embedded applications and for use on computers with limited processing power, including those limited to fixed point arithmetic and those without support for dynamic storage allocation.

Where a distinction is made, usually outside of the United States, electrical engineering is considered to deal with the problems associated with systems such as power transmission and electrical machines, whereas electronic engineering deals with the study of electronic systems including computers and integrated circuits.

The power circuits power electrical or self-contained electrohydraulic actuators that are controlled by the digital flight control computers.

Since about year 2000, with the power of computers to crunch vast quantities of data, a new career has been invented.

Scientific instruments to measure fields and particles were mounted on the spinning section of the spacecraft, together with the main antenna, power supply, the propulsion module and most of Galileos computers and control electronics.

They believed that everyone in society could benefit from experiencing such power and that if everyone could interact with computers in the way that hackers did, then the hacker ethic might spread through society and computers would improve the world.

As most applications requiring computation are now performed by small digital computers, the remaining useful application is in power sensing, which combines current sensing with voltage sensing in a single Hall effect device.

The i386SL was introduced as a power efficient version for laptop computers.

Counters are popular, but some older computers used the power line frequency instead, because power companies in most Western countries control the power-line frequency with a very accurate atomic clock.

Before LG Enhanced IPS was introduced in 2009, the additional transistors resulted in blocking more transmission area, thus requiring a brighter backlight and consuming more power, making this type of display less desirable for notebook computers.

The plaintiffs alleged that Microsoft abused monopoly power on Intel-based personal computers in its handling of operating system sales and web browser sales.

It is believed but has not been proven that the power of quantum computers is incomparable to that of NTMs.

Early computers required specialist programmers, and stringent operating environmental control for temperature, cleanliness, and power quality.

The data handling, storage, processing power and communication capabilities of some modern PLCs are approximately equivalent to desktop computers.

Personal computers may use a serial port to interface to devices such as uninterruptible power supplies.

These computers give SETI @ home an average computational power of 617 teraFLOPS.

Although some problems in statistical physics can be solved analytically using approximations and expansions, most current research utilizes the large processing power of modern computers to simulate or approximate solutions.

Universal Serial Bus ( USB ) is an industry standard developed in the mid-1990s that defines the cables, connectors and communications protocols used in a bus for connection, communication and power supply between computers and electronic devices.

X is an architecture-independent system for remote graphical user interfaces and rich input device capabilities which allows many people to share the processing power of a time-sharing computer and to collaborate with each other through client applications running on remote computers.
