  2. Solicited-node multicast address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solicited-node_multicast...

    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 ...

  3. Locator/Identifier Separation Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locator/Identifier...

    Endpoint ID (EID): An EID is an IPv4 or IPv6 address used in the source and destination address fields of the first (most inner) LISP header of a packet. Egress Tunnel Router (ETR): An ETR is a device that is the tunnel endpoint; it accepts an IP packet where the destination address in the "outer" IP header is one of its own RLOCs. ETR ...

  4. IPv6 address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_address

    An IPv6 network uses an address block that is a contiguous group of IPv6 addresses of a size that is a power of two. The leading set of bits of the addresses are identical for all hosts in a given network, and are called the network's address or routing prefix. Network address ranges are written in CIDR notation.

  5. Neighbor Discovery Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neighbor_Discovery_Protocol

    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 ...

  6. Multicast address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_address

    A multicast address is a logical identifier for a group of hosts in a computer network that are available to process datagrams or frames intended to be multicast for a designated network service. Multicast addressing can be used in the link layer (layer 2 in the OSI model ), such as Ethernet multicast, and at the internet layer (layer 3 for OSI ...

    Used for link-local addresses [5] between two hosts on a single link when no IP address is otherwise specified, such as would have normally been retrieved from a DHCP server 172.16.0.0/12 172.16.0.0–172.31.255.255 1 048 576: Private network Used for local communications within a private network [3] 192.0.0.0/24 192.0.0.0–192.0.0.255 256

  8. IPv6 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6

    Such a dual-stack DNS server holds IPv4 addresses in the A records and IPv6 addresses in the AAAA records. Depending on the destination that is to be resolved, a DNS name server may return an IPv4 or IPv6 IP address, or both. A default address selection mechanism, or preferred protocol, needs to be configured either on hosts or the DNS server.
