Only in rare cases should IPs be blocked indefinitely. For detailed information on blocking IP addresses, please see Wikipedia:Blocking IP addresses. Shared IPs: Before blocking an IP address with a long history of vandalism, please check if it is a shared proxy server or part of a dynamic IP address pool.
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.
For example, to do a reverse lookup of the IP address 8.8.4.4 the PTR record for the domain name 4.4.8.8.in-addr.arpa would be looked up, and found to point to dns.google. If the A record for dns.google in turn pointed back to 8.8.4.4 then it would be said to be forward-confirmed .
Users operating from dynamic IP addresses change IP addresses periodically. This can compound the autoblock problem , particularly when they are also shared, because a block targeted at a malicious user may shift to a legitimate user while the target shifts to an unblocked IP address.
This is a list of notable managed DNS providers in a comparison table. A managed DNS provider offers either a web-based control panel or downloadable software that allows users to manage their DNS traffic via specified protocols such as: DNS failover, dynamic IP addresses, SMTP authentication, and GeoDNS.
The label edge routers at the edges of an MPLS cloud map between the end-to-end identifier, such as an IP address, and a link-local label. At each MPLS hop, there is a forwarding table that tells the label-switched router which outgoing interface is to receive the MPLS packet, and what label to use when sending the packet out that interface.
What is the difference between port forwarding and port address translation?— Omegatron 15:43, August 23, 2005 (UTC) For the record, it's that port address translation is a method of dynamically assigning source ports from an exposed public ip for connections to a remote server from an internal private ip, whereas port forwarding forwards a destination port on a exposed public ip to an ...
Both long-term (for an IP camera or a temperature sensor acting as a server, for example) and short-term mappings (while playing an online computer game, for example) are supported. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] PCP supports transport layer protocols that use 16-bit port numbers (for example, TCP , UDP , Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) or ...
