Active network solutions
Active Networking refers to components in an organization’s network infrastructure which actively work to amplify the network signals like data, video and voice from one location to another.
At Instyle Solutions, we have a team of certified technicians who evaluate an organization’s network application, and provide functional active network designs along with implementation and support services for the same.

Components commonly utilized in Active Networking
Switch
A switch is a multi-port bridge with a buffer that operates as a Data Link Layer device. It takes packets being sent by devices that are connected to its physical ports and sends them out again, but only through the ports that lead to the devices the packets are indented to reach. It performs error checking before forwarding data that makes it very efficient. In other words, switch divides collision domain of hosts, but broadcast domain remains same.
Router
A router is a device like a switch that routes data packets based on their IP addresses. Router is mainly a Network Layer device. Routers normally connect LANs and WANs together and have a dynamically updating routing table based on which they make decisions on routing the data packets. Router divide broadcast domains of hosts connected through it.
Wireless Access Point
A wireless access point is a device that creates a wireless local area network, or WLAN, usually in an office or large building. It connects to a wired router, switch or hub via UTP cables, and projects a Wi-Fi signal to a designated area. For example, if the user wants to enable Wi-Fi access in the reception, installing an access point near the front desk and connecting it via UTP cable to a router will enable him to have the desired Wi-Fi access.
Repeater
A repeater operates at the physical layer. Its job is to regenerate the signal over the same network before the signal becomes too weak or corrupted so as to extend the length to which the signal can be transmitted over the same network.
Hub
A hub is a multi-port repeater which connects multiple wires coming from different branches. Hubs cannot filter data, so data packets are sent to all connected devices. In other words, collision domain of all hosts connected through hub remains one.
Load Balancer
A load balancer is a network switch which efficiently distributes incoming network traffic across a group of backend servers. Through this application, client requests or network load can be distributed systematically across multiple servers.
