In TCP/IP, routers operate within the Internet layer, while the transmission rate is handled by the endpoints at the transport layer. Congestion may be handled only by the transmitter, but since it is known to have happened only after a packet was sent, there must be an echo of the congestion indication by the receiver to the transmitter.
When IPv6 hosts configure their network interface controllers, they multicast router solicitation (RS) requests onto the network to discover available routers. Radvd answers requests with router advertisement (RA) messages. In addition, radvd periodically multicasts RA packets to the attached link to update network hosts.
The Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP), or simply Neighbor Discovery (ND), is a protocol of the Internet protocol suite used with Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6). [1]: §1 It operates at the internet layer of the Internet model, [2] and is responsible for gathering various information required for network communication, including the configuration of local connections and the domain name ...
netsh, among many other things, also allows the user to change the IP address on their machine. Starting from Windows Vista, one can also edit wireless settings (for example, SSID) using netsh. netsh can also be used to read information from the IPv6 stack. The command netsh winsock reset can be used to reset TCP/IP problems when communicating ...
QoS policies can be confined by application executable name, folder path, source and destination IPv4 or IPv6 addresses, source and destination TCP or UDP ports or a range of ports. In Windows Vista, QoS policies can be applied to any application at the Network Layer , thus eliminating the need to rewrite applications using QoS APIs to be QoS ...
A solicited-node multicast address is an IPv6 multicast address used by the Neighbor Discovery Protocol to determine the link layer address associated with a given IPv6 address, which is also used to check if an address is already being used by the local-link or not, through a process called DAD (Duplicate Address Detection). The solicited-node ...
This is a list of the IP protocol numbers found in the field Protocol of the IPv4 header and the Next Header field of the IPv6 header. It is an identifier for the encapsulated protocol and determines the layout of the data that immediately follows the header.
The Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution (LLMNR) is a protocol based on the Domain Name System (DNS) packet format that allows both IPv4 and IPv6 hosts to perform name resolution for hosts on the same local link.
