  2. Common Address Redundancy Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Address_Redundancy...

    The virtual IP address allotted to the group of redundancy is indicated as the address of the default router on the computers behind this group of firewalls. If the main firewall breaks down or is disconnected from the network, the virtual IP address will be taken by one of the firewall slaves and the service availability will not be interrupted.

  3. IP address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address

    IP addresses are assigned to a host either dynamically as they join the network, or persistently by configuration of the host hardware or software. Persistent configuration is also known as using a static IP address. In contrast, when a computer's IP address is assigned each time it restarts, this is known as using a dynamic IP address.

  4. Frame check sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_check_sequence

    By far the most popular FCS algorithm is a cyclic redundancy check (CRC), used in Ethernet and other IEEE 802 protocols with 32 bits, in X.25 with 16 or 32 bits, in HDLC with 16 or 32 bits, in Frame Relay with 16 bits, [3] in Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) with 16 or 32 bits, and in other data link layer protocols.

  5. List of assigned /8 IPv4 address blocks - Wikipedia

    Starting 1991-06-01, was used to map Public Data Network addresses to IP addresses. Returned to IANA 2008-01-22. This network was reclaimed by IANA in 2007 and was subsequently re-allocated in 2010. See RFC 877 and RFC 1356 for historical information.

  6. Address Resolution Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address_Resolution_Protocol

    Computers can maintain lists of known addresses, rather than using an active protocol. In this model, each computer maintains a database of the mapping of Layer 3 addresses (e.g., IP addresses) to Layer 2 addresses (e.g., Ethernet MAC addresses). This data is maintained primarily by interpreting ARP packets from the local network link.

  7. Multicast address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_address

    A multicast address is a logical identifier for a group of hosts in a computer network that are available to process datagrams or frames intended to be multicast for a designated network service. Multicast addressing can be used in the link layer (layer 2 in the OSI model ), such as Ethernet multicast, and at the internet layer (layer 3 for OSI ...

  8. Internet Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Protocol

    IP provides re-ordering of fragments received out of order. [19] An IPv6 network does not perform fragmentation in network elements, but requires end hosts and higher-layer protocols to avoid exceeding the path MTU. [20] The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is an example of a protocol that adjusts its segment size to be smaller than the MTU.

  9. Default gateway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_gateway

    The IP-address could be 91.198.174.2. In this example, none of the internal routers know the route to that host, so they will forward the packet through router1's gateway or default route. [1] Every router on the packet's way to the destination will check whether the packet's destination IP-address matches any known network routes. If a router ...
