IP routing is the application of routing methodologies to IP networks. This involves not only protocols and technologies but includes the policies of the...

Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR /ˈsaɪdər, ˈsɪ-/) is a method for allocating IP addresses for IP routing. The Internet Engineering Task Force introduced...

in its routing table or routing policy, it directs the packet to the next network on its journey. Data packets are forwarded from one router to another...

In this, the IP address is followed by a slash and the number (in decimal) of bits used for the network part, also called the routing prefix. For example...

Routing is the process of selecting a path for traffic in a network or between or across multiple networks. Broadly, routing is performed in many types...

encapsulation of its packets. IP tunnels are often used for connecting two disjoint IP networks that don't have a native routing path to each other, via an...

networking, a routing table, or routing information base (RIB), is a data table stored in a router or a network host that lists the routes to particular...

IP in IP is an IP tunneling protocol that encapsulates one IP packet in another IP packet. To encapsulate an IP packet in another IP packet, an outer header...

The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is one of the oldest distance-vector routing protocols which employs the hop count as a routing metric. RIP prevents...

Protocol (IP) is the network layer communications protocol in the Internet protocol suite for relaying datagrams across network boundaries. Its routing function...

Static routing is a form of routing that occurs when a router uses a manually-configured routing entry, rather than information from dynamic routing traffic...

(IP) routers to participating hosts. This increases the availability and reliability of routing paths via automatic default gateway selections on an IP subnetwork...

Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) addressing model. OSPF is an interior gateway protocol (IGP) for routing Internet Protocol (IP) packets within a single routing domain...

other routing protocols defined by the IETF are transported over IP, and, for the purpose of sending and receiving routing protocol packets, routers act...

of routed protocols are the Internet Protocol (IP) and Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX). Static routing Dynamic routing Hierarchical state routing Optimized...

addressing and routing methodology in which a single IP address is shared by devices (generally servers) in multiple locations. Routers direct packets...

Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) is an advanced distance-vector routing protocol that is used on a computer network for automating routing decisions...

most-significant bits of their IP addresses. This results in the logical division of an IP address into two fields: the network number or routing prefix, and the rest...

Multicast routing is one of the routing protocols in IP networking. There are several multicast routing protocols supporting communications where data...

network:node of the next router is specified in a similar fashion an IP address/netmask is specified in IP routing tables. There are three routing protocols available...

typically support IP routing between VLANs configured on the switch. Some layer-3 switches support the routing protocols that routers use to exchange information...

In computing, route is a command used to view and manipulate the IP routing table in Unix-like and Microsoft Windows operating systems and also in IBM...

Internet layer using IP multicast. In IP multicast the implementation of the multicast concept occurs at the IP routing level, where routers create optimal...

scaling unicast routing. Also, there are core routers that carry routes in the hundreds of thousands because they contain the Internet routing table. Each...

across an IP network. IP packets consist of a header for addressing and routing, and a payload for user data. The header contains information about IP version...

The Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (OLSR) is an IP routing protocol optimized for mobile ad hoc networks, which can also be used on other wireless...

In IP-based computer networks, virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) is a technology that allows multiple instances of a routing table to co-exist within...

and to help prevent IP address spoofing in unicast routing. In standard unicast IP routing, the router forwards the packet away from the source to make...
