Hosted NAT traversal (HNT) is a set of mechanisms, including media relaying and latching, that is widely used by communications providers for historical and practical reasons. [7] The IETF advises against using latching over the Internet and recommends ICE for security reasons.
Internet censorship circumvention is the use of various methods and tools to bypass internet censorship. There are many different techniques to bypass such censorship, each with unique challenges regarding ease of use, speed, and security risks.
Refraction networking, also known as decoy routing, is a research anti-censorship approach that would allow users to circumvent a censor without using any individual proxy servers. [1] Instead, it implements proxy functionality at the core of partner networks, such as those of Internet service providers , outside the censored country.
My traceroute, originally named Matt's traceroute (MTR), is a computer program that combines the functions of the traceroute and ping programs in one network diagnostic tool. [ 2 ] MTR probes routers on the route path by limiting the number of hops individual packets may traverse, and listening to responses of their expiry.
A great deal of the complexity in the BGP routing protocol exists to aid the enforcement and fine-tuning of peering and transit agreements. BGP allows operators to define a policy that determines where traffic is routed. Three things are commonly used to determine routing: local-preference, multi exit discriminators (MEDs) and AS-Path. Local ...
BGP is the standard routing protocol used to exchange information about IP routing between autonomous systems. Each AS uses BGP to advertise prefixes that it can deliver traffic to. For example, if the network prefix 192.0.2.0 / 24 is inside AS 64496, then that AS will advertise to its provider(s) and/or peer(s) that it can deliver any traffic ...
While the reported number of IPv6 advertised routes was only about 20k, the number of advertised IPv4 routes reached the default limit, causing a spillover effect as routers attempted to compensate for the issue by using slow software routing (as opposed to fast hardware routing via TCAM). The main method for dealing with this issue involves ...
A successful ARP spoofing (poisoning) attack allows an attacker to alter routing on a network, effectively allowing for a man-in-the-middle attack.. In computer networking, ARP spoofing (also ARP cache poisoning or ARP poison routing) is a technique by which an attacker sends Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) messages onto a local area network.
