2. Comparison of file transfer protocols - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file...

   A packet-switched network transmits data that is divided into units called packets.A packet comprises a header (which describes the packet) and a payload (the data). The Internet is a packet-switched network, and most of the protocols in this list are designed for its protocol stack, the IP protocol suite.

3. Wireshark - Wikipedia

   Website. www.wireshark.org. Wireshark is a free and open-source packet analyzer. It is used for network troubleshooting, analysis, software and communications protocol development, and education. Originally named Ethereal, the project was renamed Wireshark in May 2006 due to trademark issues. [5]

4. Forwarding information base - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forwarding_information_base

   Forwarding information base. A forwarding information base (FIB), also known as a forwarding table or MAC table, is most commonly used in network bridging, routing, and similar functions to find the proper output network interface controller to which the input interface should forward a packet. It is a dynamic table that maps MAC addresses to ...

5. Packet switching - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_switching

   A simple definition of packet switching is: The routing and transferring of data by means of addressed packets so that a channel is occupied during the transmission of the packet only, and upon completion of the transmission the channel is made available for the transfer of other traffic. [5][6] Packet switching allows delivery of variable bit ...

6. Packet processing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_Processing

   Packet processing. In digital communications networks, packet processing refers to the wide variety of algorithms that are applied to a packet of data or information as it moves through the various network elements of a communications network. With the increased performance of network interfaces, there is a corresponding need for faster packet ...

7. Network packet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_packet

   Network packet. In telecommunications and computer networking, a network packet is a formatted unit of data carried by a packet-switched network. A packet consists of control information and user data; [1] the latter is also known as the payload.

8. Packet analyzer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_analyzer

   Packet capture is the process of intercepting and logging traffic. As data streams flow across the network, the analyzer captures each packet and, if needed, decodes the packet's raw data, showing the values of various fields in the packet, and analyzes its content according to the appropriate RFC or other specifications.

9. Internet protocol suite - Wikipedia

   During development of the protocol the version number of the packet routing layer progressed from version 1 to version 4, the latter of which was installed in the ARPANET in 1983. It became known as Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) as the protocol that is still in use in the Internet, alongside its current successor, Internet Protocol version ...
