Man I don't think you understand how much your channel help uni student or anyone interested in networking in general. You shouldn't be "thanking us" for watching your videos. It should be the other way around and we the consumers saying thank you is really an understatement. Your teachings are honestly so great. I don't even need to "cram" the definitions for these because your teaching and using videos and pictures to illustrate your point, make understanding and knowing the definitions 100 times easier. Seriously, you do not need to thank us. Yes, perhaps you're getting some revenues from us watching and perhaps why you're grateful, but what you are doing to "paying" us compared to what we are paying you is like a scam. I'm probably typing some nonsense here, but really... I'm just flabbergasted with your teaching. I'm more than grateful for it. And you will be the main reason I will pass my networking course in uni. Would absolutely love to donate to you for making these all free, but i'm a broke student unfortunately. Just so grateful for your time and dedication to do all these.

Not everybody understand network engineering and computer since It's really useful and great video but the real equation would be how do routers really work in the real world how do they take the path and how to create your own router which routers are the best and their operating systems which one is best. I really would like to know how do they work on practice like take one and disassemble it hardware and software like he shown with two routers in two lan groups and why router is connected to the ISP modem and "is my router connect to my ISP modem-router first can I control it or by default must be connected to the ISP modem ?" . And what tools do routers provide as software how to reset it and how to setting the router settings Overall great contents for beginners

[@PracticalNetworking]

@@mohammedissam3651 I don't know the details of hardware and router development. Only the software and how they are meant to work. I outlined some of that in the Router videos of this series: - kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6u7qqZroN2jd68 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6GQqZJsoMyagaM Perhaps you'd be interested in going deeper on Routing? - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZuxiniweqeFepo

Hi, I want to confirm that i understand the thing correctly so sorry if my question is stupid. So when the Marketing Team in New York wants to send data to the Sales team in Tokyo, it is going to firstly send it to their default gateway in their network which is the router and then the router will send it to other routers in the internet with service information about the destination( sales team Tokyo) and then the other routers will keep re-sending it to other routers untill it reaches that specific network which is indicated in the data information ( MY EXAMPLE; it is sending it from network 10.20.x.x to network 10.40.x.x but what is hard for me to understand is when the information travelling trough the internet other routers keep resending it untill it reaches a router where is linked to a network 10.40.x.x? Also how does the computer knows the ip address of the other computers so he can be able to know where to send this information? Thank you in advice for the answer

[@Rhand007]

Studying for Network+ right now and even though I am using some courses on Udemy, your YT courses remain the absolute best in explaining stuff. Your course on Subnetting is absolutely outstanding and this one really simplifies the Network Basics as well. One question though, around minute 7 when talking about Switches you use IP-addresses to identify all hosts on the network. But if I understood correctly from the Udemy courses, Switches (atleast the normal/older ones) don't use IP addresses to communicate but MAC addresses. Can I assume you are using IP addresses to keep it simple because we have not been introduced (yet) to MAC addresses? Or are you using a L3 Switch? Or did I misunderstand something in the previous courses I watched? :D

[@PracticalNetworking]

Hi Zantas. Thank you for the kind words =). Glad you are enjoying this content! Regarding your question, a Switch doesn't need an IP address unless traffic is being sent TO or FROM the switch (instead of THROUGH the switch). More details on this in the Switching video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5myhmWbhNWgjpI As for communicating with MAC addresses vs IP addresses, that comes down to the protocol being used. CDP/LLDP/STP are all L2 protocols, so do their communication with L2 addresses. Hope this helps. PS: Could you do me a favor? Do you mind sharing this video on Linked In, Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, or any other social media you use? As an independent creator, that would be an _enormous_ help, and I would appreciate it _greatly_ .

[@PracticalNetworking]

[@Kevin-r7f4u]

I like the main takeaway summaries that you do at the end of the video, and the graphics that you use to show how the network devices are connected and organized in the network (along with the animations) ....very helpful for visual learners! The real-life example graphics help also (the Acme Corporation and its subnets and how it all connects to the greater Internet via routers, etc.). I was confused at first when I first read in another source that routers have multiple IP addresses, and then now it totally makes sense when you explained what a gateway is. My mind was blown at the end when you said that all those other networking devices (load balancers, access points, proxies, etc.) can perform switching and/or routing functions ....that really simplifies things and helps maintain the bigger picture of how important switches and routers are to networking. You are doing a service to society (and I mean the world) by providing this easy-to-understand information for free, which is why I love KZbin (and also why I wished this existed back when I was in school haha). I love how knowledge is being openly shared with the hopes of having a net effect of human society (on the global scale) evolving and progressing as a whole with this accessible and easy-to-digest knowledge. Learning is a life-long process, and your teaching style makes learning networking very interesting and fun! You surely have a gift with your knowledge of networking, but you also have a gift in teaching which I think is even more valuable because it can translate to other topics. Kudos to you kind sir, and please keep doing what you do best! Cheers.

Bridge's are pretty legacy at this point, so it's unlikely to come across them now. That said... I did remember occasionally seeing some 4 port bridges, but they acted like two separate bridges.

In your explanation about routers creating an ip address that shares the same ip address space as all the devices it's connected to, I'm confused. How would all my devices share that same ip address space? I thought that when you get a phone or computer or whatever they all just come with their own ip addresses. But if ip addresses DO change, then how does a router know what ip address to assign itself if its own identity relies on all the devices its connecting to to create its ip address? That bit seemed somewhat important but I'm definitely missing something lol

[@PracticalNetworking]

They share the same *IP space*, not *ip address*. So all devices in a network (ex, a home network) have an IP in the 192.168.100.[0-255] range
