  2. Hierarchical internetworking model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical...

    The distribution layer is the smart layer in the three-layer model. Routing, filtering, and QoS policies are managed at the distribution layer. Distribution layer devices also often manage individual branch-office WAN connections. This layer is also called the Workgroup layer.

  3. Star network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_network

    A star network is an implementation of a spoke–hub distribution paradigm in computer networks. In a star network, every host is connected to a central hub. In its simplest form, one central hub acts as a conduit to transmit messages. [1] The star network is one of the most common computer network topologies.

  4. Subnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnet

    Creating a subnet by dividing the host identifier. 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.

  5. Control plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_plane

    In network routing, the control plane is the part of the router architecture that is concerned with establishing the network topology, or the information in a routing table that defines what to do with incoming packets. Control plane functions, such as participating in routing protocols, run in the architectural control element. [1]

  6. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration...

    Subnet mask: 4 octets: Client's subnet mask as per RFC 950. If both the subnet mask and the router option (option 3) are included, the subnet mask option must be first. 2: Time offset: 4 octets: Offset of the client's subnet in seconds from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The offset is expressed as a two's complement 32-bit integer.

  7. Routing table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routing_table

    Route table showing internet BGP routes . In computer networking, a routing table, or routing information base (RIB), is a data table stored in a router or a network host that lists the routes to particular network destinations, and in some cases, metrics (distances) associated with those routes.

  8. Classless Inter-Domain Routing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing

    A subnet mask is a bitmask that encodes the prefix length associated with an IPv4 address or network in quad-dotted notation: 32 bits, starting with a number of 1-bits equal to the prefix length, ending with 0-bits, and encoded in four-part dotted-decimal format: 255.255.255.0. A subnet mask encodes the same information as a prefix length but ...

  9. Private VLAN - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_VLAN

    There is a need to preserve IP addressing. With Private VLANs, all Secondary VLANs can share the same IP subnet. Overcome license fees for number of supported VLANs per firewall. [5] There is a need for more than 4095 segregated networks. With Isolated VLAN, there can be endless number of segregated networks. [6]
