  2. Packet Tracer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_Tracer

    Packet Tracer is a cross-platform visual simulation tool designed by Cisco Systems that allows users to create network topologies and imitate modern computer networks.The software allows users to simulate the configuration of Cisco routers and switches using a simulated command line interface.

  3. Open Shortest Path First - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Shortest_Path_First

    OSPF is a layer 3 protocol. If a layer 2 switch is between the two devices running OSPF, one side may negotiate a speed different from the other side. This can create an asymmetric routing on the link (Router 1 to Router 2 could cost '1' and the return path could cost '10'), which may lead to unintended consequences.

  4. Link-state routing protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link-state_routing_protocol

    Link-state routing protocols are one of the two main classes of routing protocols used in packet switching networks for computer communications, the others being distance-vector routing protocols. [1] Examples of link-state routing protocols include Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS). [2]

  5. Routing protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routing_protocol

    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-local addressing. IGRP, and EIGRP are directly encapsulated in IP. EIGRP uses its own reliable transmission mechanism, while IGRP assumed an unreliable ...

  6. Link-state advertisement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link-state_advertisement

    This was defined for Multicast extensions to OSPF , [2] a multicast OSPF routing protocol which was not in general use. MOSPF has been deprecated since OSPFv3 [3] and is not currently used. It may be reassigned in the future. 7 NSSA External Link-State Advertisements The ASBR, within a Not-so-stubby area Intra-area

  7. Wildcard mask - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildcard_mask

    For example, a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000 2) inverts to a wildcard mask of 0.0.0.255 (00000000.00000000.00000000.11111111 2). A wild card mask is a matching rule. [2] The rule for a wildcard mask is: 0 means that the equivalent bit must match; 1 means that the equivalent bit does not matter

  9. Convergence (routing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergence_(routing)

    Convergence is the state of a set of routers that have the same topological information about the internetwork in which they operate. For a set of routers to have converged, they must have collected all available topology information from each other via the implemented routing protocol, the information they gathered must not contradict any other router's topology information in the set, and it ...
