How are ethernet Cat5E Cable and Cat6 cable different?

As streaming media applications such as video and multi-media become common, the demands for faster data rates will increase and create new applications that will benefit from the higher bandwidth offered by category 6.
Difference between category 5e and category 6 is in the transmission performance, and extension of the allowed bandwidth from 100 MHz for [...]

bus
ring
star
tree
mesh

Bus Topology:
In Bus networks  a single cable, the backbone functions as a shared communication medium that devices attach or tap into with an interface connector. A device wanting to communicate with another device on the network sends a broadcast message onto the wire [...]

Difference between WLAN(Wireless LAN) & LAN(Local area Network)

WLAN uses the radio waves at the Physical layers
WLAN use CSMA/CA(collision Avoidance) for Media Access
LAN use CSMA/CD(collision Detection) for Media Access
WLAN use Two way radio (half duplex ) for communication.
WLAN have the following problems

Coverage Probelms
Interference
Noise

To Share bandwidth Access point are used in WLAN instead of Ethernet Hub in LAN
WLANs must meet country specific RF regulation [...]

Advantages of Multicast Over Unicast

A unicast packet has a single source IP address and a single destination IP address.A multicast packet has a single source IP, but it has a multicast destination IP address that will be delivered to a group of receivers.
In Multicast multiple hosts can receive the same multicast stream (instead of individual streams) to save bandwidth.
Internet [...]
