  2. Network switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_switch

    A network switch is a multiport network bridge that uses MAC addresses to forward data at the data link layer (layer 2) of the OSI model. Some switches can also forward data at the network layer (layer 3) by additionally incorporating routing functionality. Such switches are commonly known as layer-3 switches or multilayer switches.

  3. Spanning Tree Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanning_Tree_Protocol

    The Spanning Tree Protocol ( STP) is a network protocol that builds a loop-free logical topology for Ethernet networks. The basic function of STP is to prevent bridge loops and the broadcast radiation that results from them. Spanning tree also allows a network design to include backup links providing fault tolerance if an active link fails.

  4. Network switching subsystem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_switching_subsystem

    Network switching subsystem. Network switching subsystem ( NSS) (or GSM core network) is the component of a GSM system that carries out call out and mobility management functions for mobile phones roaming on the network of base stations. It is owned and deployed by mobile phone operators and allows mobile devices to communicate with each other ...

  5. Cisco Inter-Switch Link - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisco_Inter-Switch_Link

    With ISL, an Ethernet frame is encapsulated with a header that transports VLAN IDs between switches and routers. With IEEE 802.1Q the tag is internal. This is a key advantage for IEEE 802.1Q as it means tagged frames can be sent over standard Ethernet links. ISL does add overhead to the frame as a 26-byte header containing a 10-bit VLAN ID.

  6. Port (computer networking) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_(computer_networking)

    In computer networking, a port or port number is a number assigned to uniquely identify a connection endpoint and to direct data to a specific service. At the software level, within an operating system, a port is a logical construct that identifies a specific process or a type of network service. A port at the software level is identified for ...

  7. Private VLAN - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_VLAN

    Private VLAN. Private VLAN, also known as port isolation, is a technique in computer networking where a VLAN contains switch ports that are restricted such that they can only communicate with a given uplink. The restricted ports are called private ports. Each private VLAN typically contains many private ports, and a single uplink.

  8. Packet switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_switching

    In telecommunications, packet switching is a method of grouping data into packets that are transmitted over a digital network.Packets are made of a header and a payload.Data in the header is used by networking hardware to direct the packet to its destination, where the payload is extracted and used by an operating system, application software, or higher layer protocols.

  9. Network bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_bridge

    A network bridge is a computer networking device that creates a single, aggregate network from multiple communication networks or network segments. This function is called network bridging. [1] Bridging is distinct from routing. Routing allows multiple networks to communicate independently and yet remain separate, whereas bridging connects two ...
