Reverse Proxy and Forward Proxy Server

When I was in high school it was very common to bunk the class and request one of my classmates to give proxy for me when the teacher makes the roll-call. In the university this proxy thing was more popular, so when it came to learn about proxy server, it was not much hard to understand that one server( the proxy one) is doing some stuffs on behalf of another and the world does not know that it is the intermediate proxy one. But there are two types of proxy servers, reverse proxy and forward proxy. As the idea of reverse proxy came later, so it's way of work is called 'reverse' and what we used to call proxy servers, are now commonly called 'forward' proxy to avoid confusion. Proxy se rve rs: A proxy server is a machine which acts as an intermediary between the computers of a local area network (sometimes using protocols other than TCP/IP) and the Internet .

For last three days I am collecting the tweets and the Twitter networks of the people who are Twitting with the hashtag #Shahbag.

At the end of the day in Feb7, I drew this Twitter network using the Social network analysis tool called NodeXL: Not that big, few people, and not many tweets, but let's see what happened the next day: Now we have so many people that I had t...

Bangladeshi Girl Squad at GHC10

We left our country and came here for higher education, to receive our Masters or PhD and spread all over USA, and then, aha! Here we met, at the GHC conference at Atlanta. I see the faces I had known and loved and got inspired . When we talk about scientific research and modern cutting edge technology, Bangladesh may not be among the topmost countries, but it is a great moment for me to get inspired when I see the number of technical women is increasing in Bangladesh, and after finishing their Bachelor's degree they are coming forth to receive higher education , this year they came from different states of USA, from Texas to Rochester, Illinois to Indiana, Michigan to Maryland. And we met and talked about our research fields, Systems, Computer Architecture, Wireless network, Security, HCI and so on. Tanzima Zerin from Purdue got second prize for her Poster presentation, Fariba Khan from UIUC presented on her PhD thesis on the PhD forum ...
