  2. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration...

    The DHCP server permanently assigns an IP address to a requesting client from a range defined by an administrator. This is like dynamic allocation, but the DHCP server keeps a table of past IP address assignments, so that it can preferentially assign to a client the same IP address that the client previously had. Manual allocation

  3. Packet Tracer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_Tracer

    Packet Tracer is a cross-platform visual simulation tool designed by Cisco Systems that allows users to create network topologies and imitate modern computer networks. The software allows users to simulate the configuration of Cisco routers and switches using a simulated command line interface.

  4. Bootstrap Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrap_Protocol

    Some DHCP servers also provide the legacy BOOTP functionality. When a network-connected computer boots up, its IP stack broadcasts BOOTP network messages requesting an IP address assignment. A BOOTP configuration server replies to the request by assigning an IP address from a pool of addresses, which is preconfigured by an administrator.

  5. DHCPv6 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCPv6

    The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol version 6 (DHCPv6) is a network protocol for configuring Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) hosts with IP addresses, IP prefixes, default route, local segment MTU, and other configuration data required to operate in an IPv6 network.

  6. Zero-configuration networking - Wikipedia

    More commonly addresses are assigned by a DHCP server, often built into common networking hardware like computer hosts or routers. Most IPv4 hosts use link-local addressing only as a last resort when a DHCP server is unavailable. An IPv4 host otherwise uses its DHCP-assigned address for all communications, global or link-local.

  7. Network address translation - Wikipedia

    PAT may then assign the connection a port number from a pool of available ports, [c] inserting this port number in the source port field. The packet is then forwarded to the external network. The NAT device then makes an entry in a translation table containing the internal IP address, original source port, and the translated source port.

  8. Internet Protocol - Wikipedia

    The payload is the data that is transported. This method of nesting the data payload in a packet with a header is called encapsulation. IP addressing entails the assignment of IP addresses and associated parameters to host interfaces. The address space is divided into subnets, involving the designation of network prefixes.

  9. Pool User - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pool_User

    A Pool User (PU) is a client in the Reliable Server Pooling (RSerPool) framework.. In order to use the service provided by a pool, a PU has to proceed the following steps: Ask a Pool Registrar for server selection (the Pool Registrar will return a list of servers, called Pool Elements),
