2. Classless Inter-Domain Routing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing

   Classless Inter-Domain Routing. Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR / ˈsaɪdər, ˈsɪ -/) 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. Its goal was to slow the growth of routing tables on ...

3. Network address translation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation

   Network address translation. Network address translation (NAT) is a method of mapping an IP address space into another by modifying network address information in the IP header of packets while they are in transit across a traffic routing device. [1] The technique was originally used to bypass the need to assign a new address to every host when ...

4. IP address - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address

   An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a numerical label such as 192.0.2.1 that is assigned to a device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. [ 1 ][ 2 ] IP addresses serve two main functions: network interface identification, and location addressing. Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) defines ...

5. Domain masking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Masking

   Domain masking or URL masking is the act of hiding the actual domain name of a website from the URL field of a user 's web browser in favor of another name. [ 1] There are many ways to do this, including the following examples. HTML inline frame or frameset so a frame embedded in the main website actually points to some other site.

6. Routing table - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routing_table

   Hop-by-hop is the fundamental characteristic of the IP Internet layer [1] and the OSI Network Layer. When a router interface is configured with an IP address and subnet mask, the interface becomes a host on that attached network. A directly connected network is a network that is directly attached to one of the router interfaces.

8. Internet Protocol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Protocol

   The Internet Protocol (IP) is the network layer communications protocol in the Internet protocol suite for relaying datagrams across network boundaries. Its routing function enables internetworking, and essentially establishes the Internet. IP has the task of delivering packets from the source host to the destination host solely based on the IP ...

9. Subnet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnet

   Subnet. A subnetwork, or subnet, is a logical subdivision of an IP network. [1]: 1, 16 The practice of dividing a network into two or more networks is called subnetting. Computers that belong to the same subnet are addressed with an identical group of its most-significant bits of their IP addresses. This results in the logical division of an IP ...
