Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ( DHCP )

DHCP is a protocol that permits dynamic assignment of IP numbers. This replaces the labor-intensive process of IP address management, in which every host is configured with a static IP number assigned to it. DHCP allows the centralization and automation of the IP assignment process. Hosts are leased an IP number for a given amount of time, and this makes the process of managing and administering large networks more efficient. This is good for the network administrator, but makes the security administrator's job more complicated (for example, when some IP number and associated temporary owner have to be chased down for questionable activity).

Computers that are connected to non-DHCP equipped IP networks must be configured before they can communicate with other computers on the network. DHCP allows a computer to be configured automatically, eliminating the need for intervention by a network administrator. It also provides a central database for keeping track of computers that have been connected to the network. This prevents two computers from accidentally being configured with the same IP address

Database Sharding

Collating some of the resources which talks about Database Sharding. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shard_(database_architecture) [Feb 2019]  http://highscalability.com/blog/2019/2/19/intro-to-redis-cluster-sharding-advantages-limitations-deplo.html Redis Cluster is the Native Sharding implementation available within Redis that allows your to automatically distribute your data across multiple nodes without having to rely on external tools and utilities. Its covers Sharding with Redis Cluster  where Redis Clusters is divided in 16384 slots and these slots are assigned to multiple Redis Nodes. The  Redis Cluster Specification  is the definitive guide to understanding the internals of the technology, while the  Redis Cluster Tutorial  provides deployment and administration guidelines.

Designing a URL Shortening Service

Designing a URL Shortening Service like TinyURL Lets design a URL Shortening service like TinyURL. This service will provide short short URLs for a large URL. What is the Problem ? URLs can be pretty huge depending upon the resources like the following : https://news.google.com/topics/CAAqIggKIhxDQkFTRHdvSkwyMHZNREZqY0hsNUVnSmxiaWdBUAE?hl=en-IN&gl=IN&ceid=IN%3Aen  ,  I think this Shortening was majorly used in Twittor where there is a limit of 140 characters.  Requirements of the System Its always necessary to clear out the requirements with the Stakeholders on what are the expectations they are making, This will ensure that our System is designed as per the Requirements.  Questions which are already answered  We need to design a system which will store a shorter version of URL that was given. When somebody clicks that shorter URL , request will hit our Service and they will be redirected to the original URL. Questions wh...
