  2. Link-local address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link-local_address

    Link-local addresses may be assigned manually by an administrator or by automatic operating system procedures. In Internet Protocol (IP) networks, they are assigned most often using stateless address autoconfiguration, a process that often uses a stochastic process to select the value of link-local addresses, assigning a pseudo-random address that is different for each session.

  3. Node (networking) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node_(networking)

    Equipment, such as an Ethernet hub or modem with serial interface, that operates only below the data link layer does not require a network address. [ 2 ] If the network in question is the Internet or an intranet , many physical network nodes are host computers, also known as Internet nodes , identified by an IP address , and all hosts are ...

  4. Private network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network

    The validity of link-local addresses is limited to a single link; e.g. to all computers connected to a switch, or to one wireless network. Hosts on different sides of a network bridge are also on the same link, whereas hosts on different sides of a network router are on different links.

  5. IPv6 address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_address

    Link-local addresses and the loopback address have link-local scope, which means they can only be used on a single directly attached network. All other addresses (including unique local addresses ) have global (or universal ) scope, which means they are potentially globally routable and can be used to connect to addresses with global scope ...

  6. .local - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.local

    The connection of Macintosh and Linux computers or zeroconf peripherals to Windows networks can be problematic if those networks include name servers that use .local as a search domain for internal devices. Microsoft recommends against using unregistered suffixes, such as .local.

  7. Public switched telephone network - Wikipedia

    A DS0 is also known as a timeslot because DS0s are aggregated in time-division multiplexing (TDM) equipment to form higher capacity communication links. A Digital Signal 1 (DS1) circuit carries 24 DS0s on a North American or Japanese T-carrier (T1) line, or 32 DS0s (30 for calls plus two for framing and signaling) on an E-carrier (E1) line used ...

  8. Local area network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_area_network

    A local area network (LAN) is a computer network that interconnects computers within a single physical location. It is the most common type of computer network, used in homes and buildings including offices or schools, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] for sharing data and devices between each other, including Internet access .

  9. Network topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_topology

    Network topology is the arrangement of the elements (links, nodes, etc.) of a communication network. [1] [2] Network topology can be used to define or describe the arrangement of various types of telecommunication networks, including command and control radio networks, [3] industrial fieldbusses and computer networks.
