NAT Port Mapping Protocol (NAT-PMP) is a network protocol for establishing network address translation (NAT) settings and port forwarding configurations automatically without user effort. [1] The protocol automatically determines the external IPv4 address of a NAT gateway, and provides means for an application to communicate the parameters for ...
The port numbers in the range from 0 to 1023 (0 to 2 10 − 1) are the well-known ports or system ports. [3] They are used by system processes that provide widely used types of network services. On Unix-like operating systems, a process must execute with superuser privileges to be able to bind a network socket to an IP address using one of the ...
Local port forwarding is the most common type of port forwarding. It is used to let a user connect from the local computer to another server, i.e. forward data securely from another client application running on the same computer as a Secure Shell (SSH) client. By using local port forwarding, firewalls that block certain web pages, can be ...
Port Control Protocol (PCP) is a computer networking protocol that allows hosts on IPv4 or IPv6 networks to control how the incoming IPv4 or IPv6 packets are translated and forwarded by an upstream router that performs network address translation (NAT) or packet filtering.
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 ports.
The term "perfect forward secrecy" was coined by C. G. Günther in 1990 [3] and further discussed by Whitfield Diffie, Paul van Oorschot, and Michael James Wiener in 1992, [4] where it was used to describe a property of the Station-to-Station protocol.
Store and forward originates with delay-tolerant networks.No real-time services are available for these kinds of networks. Logistical Networking is a scalable form of store and forward networking that exposes network-embedded buffers on intermediate nodes and allows flexible creation of services by higher-level managers including caching, point-to-multipoint communication (or multicast ...
Default Forwarding (DF) PHB — which is typically best-effort traffic; Expedited Forwarding (EF) PHB — dedicated to low-loss, low-latency traffic; Assured Forwarding (AF) PHB — gives assurance of delivery under prescribed conditions; Class Selector PHBs — which maintain backward compatibility with the IP precedence field.
