2. Routing table - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routing_table

   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. The routing table contains information about the topology of the network immediately ...

3. Multiprotocol Label Switching - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiprotocol_Label_Switching

   Multiprotocol Label Switching. Multiprotocol Label Switching ( MPLS) is a routing technique in telecommunications networks that directs data from one node to the next based on labels rather than network addresses. [1] Whereas network addresses identify endpoints, the labels identify established paths between endpoints.

4. Routing protocol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routing_protocol

   Routers perform the traffic directing functions on the Internet; data packets are forwarded through the networks of the internet from router to router until they reach their destination computer. Routing algorithms determine the specific choice of route. Each router has a prior knowledge only of networks attached to it directly.

5. Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Router_Redundancy...

   The Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol ( VRRP) is a computer networking protocol that provides for automatic assignment of available Internet Protocol (IP) routers to participating hosts. This increases the availability and reliability of routing paths via automatic default gateway selections on an IP subnetwork .

6. Protocol Independent Multicast - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocol_Independent_Multicast

   Protocol Independent Multicast. Protocol-Independent Multicast ( PIM) is a family of multicast routing protocols for Internet Protocol (IP) networks that provide one-to-many and many-to-many distribution of data over a LAN, WAN or the Internet. It is termed protocol-independent because PIM does not include its own topology discovery mechanism ...

7. IPv6 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6

   e. Internet Protocol version 6 ( IPv6) is the most recent version of the Internet Protocol (IP), the communications protocol that provides an identification and location system for computers on networks and routes traffic across the Internet. IPv6 was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to deal with the long-anticipated ...
