Thank you Sanjay..., I have asked DB admin to check this up.
Muzaffar... I have collectd running on the server that shows all info. I used that to find out load at the time. But, the server was so loaded that the graphing system had stalled too!

UDP(User Datagram Protocol). A simpler message-based connectionless protocol.

This means it's a lot quicker, and the network card / OS have to do very little work to translate the data back from the packets. > > ************************************************************************************************ > OSI Model : > > Layer Name > -------------------------- > 7 Application <----x > | > 6 Presentation | Application > | > 5 Session <----x > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > 4 Transport Transport > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > 3 Network Internet Layer > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > 2 DataLink <----x > | Network Interface Layer > 1 Physical <----x > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > ************************************************************************************************ > > > --- On Fri, 6/20/08, shanthiavari <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: shanthiavari <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [LinuxVadaPav] networking > To: [email protected] > Date: Friday, June 20, 2008, 2:00 PM > > > > > > > > > > > > What's the difference between UDP and TCP? > > How would you find what ports are open on a machine (local and > > remote)? > > What's the OSI model?
