  2. Subnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnet

    Since the introduction of CIDR, however, the assignment of an IP address to a network interface requires two parameters, the address and a subnet mask. Given an IPv4 source address, its associated subnet mask, and the destination address, a router can determine whether the destination is on a locally connected network or a remote network.

    In another example, an ISP is assigned a block of IP addresses by a regional Internet registry (RIR) of 172.1.0.0 to 172.1.255.255. The ISP might then assign subnetworks to each of their downstream clients, e.g., Customer A will have the range 172.1.1.0 to 172.1.1.255, Customer B would receive the range 172.1.2.0 to 172.1.2.255 and Customer C ...

  4. Routing protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routing_protocol

    Routing protocols, according to the OSI routing framework, are layer management protocols for the network layer, regardless of their transport mechanism: IS-IS runs on the data link layer (Layer 2) Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is encapsulated in IP, but runs only on the IPv4 subnet, while the IPv6 version runs on the link using only link ...

  5. IP address management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address_management

    IP address management (IPAM) is a methodology implemented in computer software for planning and managing the assignment and use of IP addresses and closely related resources of a computer network. It does not typically provide Domain Name System (DNS) and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) services, but manages information for these ...

    While IPv4 uses 32 bits for addressing, yielding c. 4.3 billion (4.3 × 10 9) addresses, IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses providing c. 3.4 × 10 38 addresses. Although adoption of IPv6 has been slow, as of January 2023 [update] , most countries in the world show significant adoption of IPv6, [ 10 ] with over 41% of Google's traffic being carried ...

  7. IP routing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_routing

    The IP forwarding algorithm is a specific implementation of routing for IP networks. 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 ...

  8. Carrier-grade NAT - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT

    Carrier-grade NAT. Carrier-grade NAT (CGN or CGNAT), also known as large-scale NAT (LSN), is a type of network address translation (NAT) used by ISPs in IPv4 network design. With CGNAT, end sites, in particular residential networks, are configured with private network addresses that are translated to public IPv4 addresses by middlebox network address translator devices embedded in the network ...

  9. Amazon Virtual Private Cloud - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Virtual_Private_Cloud

    Private IP addresses are used for communication between instances within the VPC, while public IP addresses are used for communication between the VPC and the Internet. Amazon VPC provides several options for IP address management, including the use of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, the automatic assignment of private IP addresses, and the ability to ...
