Introduction

The African diaspora has resulted in a wave of “migration” of Africans from the African continent to other parts of the world. The main reason for this is the slave dispersal that moved Africans from Africa to America, the Middle East and even to the Far East.

There is always the ideology that all Africans, no matter where they find themselves around the world, are bound together by their traditional cultures and diasporic experiences. This paper ...

In static routing, an administrator will need to manually add the routes to networks in the routing table of routers (Forouzan 651). In a dynamic routing scenario however, algorithms and protocols are used for the automatic propagation of routing information to neighbour routers. In default routing, all the routers are configured to forward all packets to a single router. Because of the input of the network administrator in the static routing scenario, this configuration is not suitable for very large networks. Static routing is not also suitable for use in large networks. Dynamic routing would be advised to a ...

It is the rare piece of popular music that has the staying power to still be relevant decades after its release, something that’s especially true now when there are so many different styles of popular music in the world. But while this may mean ...
