  2. Network packet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_packet

    Network packet. In telecommunications and computer networking, a network packet is a formatted unit of data carried by a packet-switched network. A packet consists of control information and user data; [1] the latter is also known as the payload.

  3. Computer network - Wikipedia

    Network Packet. Most modern computer networks use protocols based on packet-mode transmission. A network packet is a formatted unit of data carried by a packet-switched network. Packets consist of two types of data: control information and user data (payload).

  4. Transmission Control Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_Control_Protocol

    The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is one of the main protocols of the Internet protocol suite. It originated in the initial network implementation in which it complemented the Internet Protocol (IP). Therefore, the entire suite is commonly referred to as TCP/IP. TCP provides reliable, ordered, and error-checked delivery of a stream of ...

  5. Internet Control Message Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Control_Message...

    The ICMP header starts after the IPv4 header and is identified by its protocol number, 1. [6] All ICMP packets have an eight-byte header and variable-sized data section. The first four bytes of the header have fixed format, while the last four bytes depend on the type and code of the ICMP packet.

  6. Packet switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_switching

    In telecommunications, packet switching is a method of grouping data into short messages in fixed format, i.e. packets, that are transmitted over a digital network. Packets are made of a header and a payload. Data in the header is used by networking hardware to direct the packet to its destination, where the payload is extracted and used by an ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-Sensitive_Networking

    Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is a set of standards under development by the Time-Sensitive Networking task group of the IEEE 802.1 working group. [1] The TSN task group was formed in November 2012 by renaming the existing Audio Video Bridging Task Group [2] and continuing its work. The name changed as a result of the extension of the working ...

  8. Control plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_plane

    In network routing, the control plane is the part of the router architecture that is concerned with establishing the network topology, or the information in a routing table that defines what to do with incoming packets. Control plane functions, such as participating in routing protocols, run in the architectural control element. [1]

  9. Flit (computer networking) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flit_(computer_networking)

    Flit (computer networking) In computer networking, a flit (flow control unit or flow control digit) is a link-level atomic piece that forms a network packet or stream. [1] The first flit, called the header flit holds information about this packet's route (namely the destination address) and sets up the routing behavior for all subsequent flits ...
