ReactOS on Github
ReactOS is a free and open-sourced operating system based on the Windows NT architecture, it provides support for the applications that already exists, and an alternative to the current operating systems that dominates the market.
It is true that ReactOS current usage is mostly designed for programmers to expand and improve on. however, you don't need to be a rocket scientist to use it, and in its final state will be a consumer friendly Operating System. If you've used Windows before, you'll find yourself in a familiar environment with ReactOS.
This is my third contribution to the ReactOS project.
I have intentionally waited for the review of my last post, and I'm glad that I got a very accurate note. so, knowing the fact that I'm on the right track is so satisfying and for sure, this time I have double-checked the issue that the LM mentioned previously and I hope that nothing was skipped by me this time cause now everything is critical, a decrease in the general score can lead to a no-vote at all like what happened for my first contribution in the ReactOS project.
This part was a continuation of its previous one, It does indeed consist of new terminologies that needed some researches and familiarization before embarking on the translation boat, and that's what I will try to summarize in this section :
Network address translation
NAT or Network Address Translation is a process in which one or more local IP address is translated into one or more Global IP address and vice versa in order to provide Internet access to the local hosts. NAT generally operates on router or firewall.
IPX(Internetwork Packet Exchange)
IPX is the old networking protocol originally used by the Novell NetWare operating system and later adopted by Windows. IPX was introduced in the 80s and remained popular through the 90s. Since then, it has largely been replaced by the standard TCP/IP protocol.
TCP/IP
This one I'm more familiar with 😂😂, It specifies how the data is exchanged over the internet by providing end-to-end communications that identify how it should be divided into packets, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination. It requires little central management, and it is designed to make networks reliable, with the ability to recover automatically from the failure of any device on the network.
Those were the terms related to the networking field that I choose to share, there are others of course but those are the most important one and for sure most of them will be repeated throughout the project, so I'll try to mention them all in the contributions that follow.
