  2. Broadcast address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_address

    A special definition exists for the IP address 255.255.255.255. It is the broadcast address of the zero network or 0.0.0.0, which in Internet Protocol standards stands for this network, i.e. the local network. Transmission to this address is limited by definition, in that it is never forwarded by the routers connecting the local network to ...

    The relay agent will use the 255.255.255.255 broadcast IP address (and the clients MAC address) to inform the client of the server's DHCPOFFER. The communication between the relay agent and the DHCP server typically uses both a source and destination UDP port of 67.

  6. IP address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address

    All receivers capture the network packet. The address 255.255.255.255 is used for network broadcast. In addition, a more limited directed broadcast uses the all-ones host address with the network prefix. For example, the destination address used for directed broadcast to devices on the network 192.0.2.0 / 24 is 192.0.2.255. [24]

  7. 0.0.0.0 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0.0.0.0

    This generally means that no intermediate routing hops are necessary because the system is directly connected to the destination. [9] The CIDR notation 0.0.0.0 / 0 defines an IP block containing all possible IP addresses. It is commonly used in routing to depict the default route as a destination subnet. It matches all addresses in the IPv4 ...

  8. Routing table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routing_table

    The columns Network destination and Netmask together describe the Network identifier as mentioned earlier. For example, destination 192.168.0.0 and netmask 255.255.255.0 can be written as 192.168.0.0/24. The Gateway column contains the same information as the Next hop, i.e. it points to the gateway through which the network can be reached.

  9. Default route - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_route

    The network with the longest subnet mask or network prefix that matches the destination IP address is the next-hop network gateway. The process repeats until a packet is delivered to the destination host, or earlier along the route, when a router has no default route available and cannot route the packet otherwise.
