As traffic passes from the network to the Internet, NAT translates the source address in each packet from a private address to the router's public address. The router tracks basic data about each active connection (particularly the destination address and port). When the router receives inbound traffic from the Internet, it uses the connection ...
When a multicast packet enters a router's interface, the router looks up the list of networks that are reachable via that interface (i.e., it checks the paths by which the packet could have arrived). If the router finds a matching routing entry for the source IP address of the multicast packet, the RPF check passes and the packet is forwarded ...
Port forwarding via NAT router. In computer networking, port forwarding or port mapping is an application of network address translation (NAT) that redirects a communication request from one address and port number combination to another while the packets are traversing a network gateway, such as a router or firewall.
Wi-Fi positioning system (WPS, WiPS or WFPS) is a geolocation system that uses the characteristics of nearby Wi‑Fi access points to discover where a device is located. [1]It is used where satellite navigation such as GPS is inadequate due to various causes including multipath and signal blockage indoors, or where acquiring a satellite fix would take too long. [2]
Wireless network cards for computers require control software to make them function (firmware, device drivers). This is a list of the status of some open-source drivers for 802.11 wireless network cards.
This mode is normally used for packet sniffing that takes place on a router or on a computer connected to a wired network or one being part of a wireless LAN. [5] Interfaces are placed into promiscuous mode by software bridges often used with hardware virtualization.
A reverse connection is usually used to bypass firewall restrictions on open ports. [1] A firewall usually blocks incoming connections on closed ports, but does not block outgoing traffic . In a normal forward connection, a client connects to a server through the server's open port , but in the case of a reverse connection, the client opens the ...
The Vyatta system is intended as a replacement for Cisco IOS 1800 through ASR 1000 [3] series Integrated Services Routers (ISR) and ASA 5500 security appliances, with a strong emphasis on the cost and flexibility inherent in an open source, Linux-based system [4] running on commodity x86 hardware or in VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, Citrix ...
