In order to achieve a successful transfer of data, the algorithm uses a routing table to select a next-hop router as the next destination for a datagram. The IP address of the selected router is known as the next-hop address. [1] The IP forwarding algorithm states: [2] Given a destination IP address, D, and network prefix, N:
In packet switching networks, traffic flow, packet flow or network flow is a sequence of packets from a source computer to a destination, which may be another host, a multicast group, or a broadcast domain. RFC 2722 defines traffic flow as "an artificial logical equivalent to a call or connection."
The command reports the round-trip times of the packets received from each successive host (remote node) along the route to a destination. The sum of the mean times in each hop is a measure of the total time spent to establish the connection. The command aborts if all (usually three) sent packets are lost more than twice.
In computer networking, source routing, also called path addressing, allows a sender of a data packet to partially or completely specify the route the packet takes through the network. [1] In contrast, in conventional routing , routers in the network determine the path incrementally based on the packet's destination.
In classic Mac OS System 7 and later, and in macOS, an alias is a small file that represents another object in a local, remote, or removable [1] file system and provides a dynamic link to it; the target object may be moved or renamed, and the alias will still link to it (unless the original file is recreated; such an alias is ambiguous and how it is resolved depends on the version of macOS).
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.

Path Finder (originally SNAX) is a Macintosh file browser developed by Cocoatech. [1] [2] First released in 2001 simultaneously with the public release of Mac OS X 10.0 (Cheetah), [3] it replicates or integrates most of the features of the Finder, but introduces additional functionality similar to that found in the Windows File Explorer, the defunct Norton Commander, and other third-party file ...
