The BIOS feature that enables a hard drive to read or write several sectors at a time is called IDE block mode

Explanation:

IDE block mode setting speeds up IDE drivers when enabled by allowing multiple sectors to read or write operations. This BIOS feature rushes up hard disk drive passage by transferring many divisions of data per interrupt rather than using the normal single-sector transfer mode.

This mode of transfer is known as block transfers. When block transfers are enabled, depends on the IDE controller, nearly 64 KB of data can be transferred per interrupt.

Answer:

1.) Relative cell reference - A1

2.) Absolute cell reference - $D$2

3.) Mixed cel reference - $D2

Explanation:

In Microsoft Excel, cell references are very important and critical when dealing with formula. They can give you what you’re looking for or make your entire worksheet incorrect.

A cell reference is a cell address or a range of cell addresses that can be used in a formula.

There are three types of cell references and they are;

a) Relative reference

b) Absolute reference

c) Mixed reference

A relative cell reference is a cell reference that changes when you copy the formula to other cells. It s usually just a normal cell reference like A1, B2, C3. If a formula with a relative cell reference is copied down to other cells, the formula will change. That is a formula with a relative cell reference changes with respect to the cell which it is copied to.

An absolute reference does not change when you copy the formula to other cells. In absolute references, the dollar sign $ is used to “lock” both the row and column so that it does not change when it is copied to other cells. An example is $D$2.

Using a mixed cell reference, one is trying to see that only either the row or column changes with respect to other cells when they are copied. It is like “locking” either the column or the row while changing the other. Just like from the example, $D2 is a mixed cell reference where only the column is locked such that only the row changes when the formula is copied to other cells.

Explanation:

Maximum transmission unit (MTU)

A maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the largest packet or frame size that is usually specified in Eight-bit bytes, which can be sent in a packet or frame-based network such as the internet.  

Longest Prefix Match

Longest prefix match is an algorithm used by routers in Internet Protocol to lookup the IP prefix that will likely be the terminal point of the next hop from the router.

CIDR and Subnet Mask

CIDR, known in full as Classless inter-domain routing, is a set of IP standards that is used to make customized identifiers for networks and individual devices.  

A subnet mask separates the internet protocol (IP) address into the network address and host address.

 

Switching Fabric

Switching fabric is simply an arrangement of the elements of a communication network also known as network topology, whereby the nodes of the network are seen to interconnect with one or more network switches.

Orlov [11]
<span>Crawler-based search engines are what most of us are familiar with - mainly because that's what Google and Bing are. These companies develop their own software that enables them to build and maintain searchable databases of web pages (the engine), and to organise those pages into the most valuable and pertinent way to the user.</span>
