  2. Multicast address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_address

    IP multicast address range ... 224.3.0.0 to 224.4.255.255 ... The Cisco multicast router AUTO-RP-DISCOVERY address is the destination address for messages from the RP ...

  3. Broadcast address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_address

    A special definition exists for the IP address 255.255.255.255. It is the broadcast address of the zero network or 0.0.0.0, which in Internet Protocol standards stands for this network, i.e. the local network. Transmission to this address is limited by definition, in that it is never forwarded by the routers connecting the local network to ...

  4. Martian packet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martian_packet

    Martian packets commonly arise from IP address spoofing in denial-of-service attacks, [2] but can also arise from network equipment malfunction or misconfiguration of a host. [ 1 ] In Linux terminology, a Martian packet is an IP packet received by the kernel on a specific interface, while routing tables indicate that the source IP is expected ...

  5. Multicast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast

    In IP multicast the implementation of the multicast concept occurs at the IP routing level, where routers create optimal distribution paths for datagrams sent to a multicast destination address. Multicast is often employed in Internet Protocol (IP) applications of streaming media, such as IPTV and multipoint videoconferencing.

  6. Routing table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routing_table

    The routing table contains network/next hop associations. These associations tell a router that a particular destination can be optimally reached by sending the packet to a specific router that represents the next hop on the way to the final destination. The next hop association can also be the outgoing or exit interface to the final destination.

  7. Default gateway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_gateway

    TCP/IP defines the addresses 192.168.4.0 (network ID address) and 192.168.4.255 (broadcast IP address). The office's hosts send packets to addresses within this range directly, by resolving the destination IP address into a MAC address with the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) sequence and then encapsulates the IP packet into a MAC frame ...

  8. IP routing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_routing

    In order to achieve a successful transfer of data, the algorithm uses a routing table to select a next-hop router as the next destination for a datagram. The IP address of the selected router is known as the next-hop address. [1] The IP forwarding algorithm states: [2] Given a destination IP address, D, and network prefix, N:

  9. IP address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address

    All receivers capture the network packet. The address 255.255.255.255 is used for network broadcast. In addition, a more limited directed broadcast uses the all-ones host address with the network prefix. For example, the destination address used for directed broadcast to devices on the network 192.0.2.0 / 24 is 192.0.2.255. [24]
