  2. Promiscuous mode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promiscuous_mode

    In non-promiscuous mode, when a NIC receives a frame, it drops it unless the frame is addressed to that NIC's MAC address or is a broadcast or multicast addressed frame. In promiscuous mode, however, the NIC allows all frames through, thus allowing the computer to read frames intended for other machines or network devices.

  3. Bootstrap Protocol - Wikipedia

    The client's IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address. The IP address and host name of the BOOTP server. The IP address of the server that has the boot image, which the client needs to load its operating system. When the client receives this information from the BOOTP server, it configures and initializes its TCP/IP protocol stack ...

  4. Zero-configuration networking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-configuration_networking

    Users type in domain names, such as example.org, which the computer's DNS software looks up in the DNS databases to retrieve an IP address, and then hands off that address to the protocol stack for further communications. [5] Looking up an address using DNS requires the IP address of the DNS server to be known.

    This message may contain the client's Client ID (Option 61, containing a unique value, traditionally a MAC address), the IP address that the server is offering, the subnet mask, the lease duration, and the IP address of the DHCP server making the offer.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole_(networking)

    The most common form of black hole is simply an IP address that specifies a host machine that is not running or an address to which no host has been assigned.. Even though TCP/IP provides a means of communicating the delivery failure back to the sender via ICMP, traffic destined for such addresses is often just dropped.

    These meanings may not be consistent between operating systems. In both Windows and Linux, when selecting which of a host's IP address to use as a source IP, a program may specify INADDR_ANY (0.0.0.0). [3] [4] In Linux a program may specify 0.0.0.0 as the remote address to connect to the current host (AKA localhost). [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetBIOS_over_TCP/IP

    NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NBT, or sometimes NetBT) is a networking protocol that allows legacy computer applications relying on the NetBIOS API to be used on modern TCP/IP networks. NetBIOS was developed in the early 1980s, targeting very small networks (about a dozen computers).
