  2. Gateway-to-Gateway Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateway-to-Gateway_Protocol

    The Gateway-to-Gateway Protocol was designed as an Internet Protocol (IP) datagram service similar to the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). However, it is classified as an Internet Layer protocol. [3] GGP uses a minimum hop algorithm, in which it measures distance in router hops. A router is defined to be ...

  3. Gateway (telecommunications) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateway_(telecommunications)

    A gateway is a piece of networking hardware or software used in telecommunications networks that allows data to flow from one discrete network to another. Gateways are distinct from routers or switches in that they communicate using more than one protocol to connect multiple networks [1] [2] and can operate at any of the seven layers of the OSI model.

  4. List of network protocols (OSI model) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_network_protocols...

    This article lists protocols, categorized by the nearest layer in the Open Systems Interconnection model.This list is not exclusive to only the OSI protocol family.Many of these protocols are originally based on the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) and other models and they often do not fit neatly into OSI layers.

  5. IP routing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_routing

    Different protocols are often used for different topologies or different application areas. For example, the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol is generally used within an enterprise and the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is used on a global scale. [1] BGP is the de facto standard for worldwide Internet routing.

  6. Interior gateway protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interior_Gateway_Protocol

    An interior gateway protocol (IGP) or interior routing protocol is a type of routing protocol used for exchanging routing table information between gateways (commonly routers) within an autonomous system (for example, a system of corporate local area networks). [1] This routing information can then be used to route network-layer protocols like IP.

  7. Routing protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routing_protocol

    Although there are many types of routing protocols, three major classes are in widespread use on IP networks: Interior gateway protocols type 1, link-state routing protocols, such as OSPF and IS-IS; Interior gateway protocols type 2, distance-vector routing protocols, such as Routing Information Protocol, RIPv2, IGRP.

  8. Computer network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_network

    An internetwork is the connection of multiple different types of computer networks to form a single computer network using higher-layer network protocols and connecting them together using routers. The Internet is the largest example of internetwork. It is a global system of interconnected governmental, academic, corporate, public, and private ...

  9. Path-vector routing protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path-vector_routing_protocol

    Each entry in the routing table contains the destination network, the next router and the path to reach the destination. Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is an example of a path vector protocol. In BGP, the autonomous system boundary routers (ASBR) send path-vector messages to advertise the reachability of networks. Each router that receives a ...
