In a computer network, the transmission of data is based on the routing protocol which selects the best routes between any two nodes. Different types of routing protocols are applied to specific ...

Researchers have found a new approach to finding shortest paths, but it's complex Systems Approach Last year a couple of people forwarded to me the same article on a new method of finding shortest ...

How does an SDN interoperate with the rest of the network? SDN Doesn't Operate Alone Software Defined Networks don't operate alone. They will have to interoperate with other SDNs and with other parts ...

Network layer routing protocols provide the communication protocols and algorithms for determining routes to every destination and also for distributing the routing information throughout the network.

A complex routing protocol that shares information with other routers in order to determine the best path. IS-IS was the first comprehensive link state protocol, and OSPF and NLSP evolved from it.

Data center routing is evolving. Some might even say, “finally!” the industry has been working too long with traditional routing protocols from the telecom and enterprise network environments. Now is ...

Performance of a network is based on routing protocols. RIPv1, RIPv2, EIGRP and OSPF are the dynamic routing protocols being used in the practical networks to propagate network topology information to ...

Servers could be haunted by a ghost from the 1980s, as hackers have started abusing an obsolete routing protocol to launch distributed denial-of-service attacks. DDoS attacks observed in May by the ...
