  2. Packet switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_switching

    Donald Davies' work on data communications and computer network design became well known in the United States, Europe and Japan and was the "cornerstone" that inspired numerous packet switching networks in the decade following.

  3. Frame Relay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_Relay

    DLCI values become DTE addresses that are unique in the Frame Relay WAN. The global addressing extension adds functionality and manageability to Frame Relay internetworks. Individual network interfaces and the end nodes attached to them, for example, can be identified by using standard address-resolution and discovery techniques.

  4. IPv6 transition mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_transition_mechanism

    NAT64 is a mechanism to allow IPv6 hosts to communicate with IPv4 servers. The NAT64 server is the endpoint for at least one IPv4 address and an IPv6 network segment of 32-bits, e.g., 64:ff9b:: / 96. [3] The IPv6 client embeds the IPv4 address with which it wishes to communicate using these bits, and sends its packets to the resulting address.

  5. Classless Inter-Domain Routing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing

    Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR / ˈ s aɪ d ər, ˈ s ɪ-/) is a method for allocating IP addresses for IP routing.The Internet Engineering Task Force introduced CIDR in 1993 to replace the previous classful network addressing architecture on the Internet.

  6. Source routing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_routing

    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.

  7. Medium access control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium_access_control

    The most widespread multiple access method is the contention-based CSMA/CD used in Ethernet networks. This mechanism is only utilized within a network collision domain, for example, an Ethernet bus network or a hub-based star topology network. An Ethernet network may be divided into several collision domains, interconnected by bridges and switches.

  8. Multicast routing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_routing

    A multicast routing protocol is a mechanism for constructing a loop-free shortest path from a source host that sends data to the multiple destinations that receives the data. IPv4 uses Class D address (224.0.0.0 ~ 239.255.255.255) [ 2 ] IPv6 multicast provides the previous feature of IPv4 and a new IPv6 feature, allowing a host to send a single ...

  9. NAT traversal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAT_traversal

    Network address translation traversal is a computer networking technique of establishing and maintaining Internet Protocol connections across gateways that implement network address translation (NAT). NAT traversal techniques are required for many network applications, such as peer-to-peer file sharing and voice over IP. [1]
