  2. Broadcast address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_address

    A broadcast address is a network address used to transmit to all devices connected to a multiple-access communications network. A message sent to a broadcast address may be received by all network-attached hosts. In contrast, a multicast address is used to address a specific group of devices, and a unicast address is used to address a single ...

  3. Default gateway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_gateway

    The default gateway can be specified by the route command to configure the node's routing table and default route. In a home or small office environment, the default gateway is a device, such as a DSL router or cable router, that connects the local network to the Internet. It serves as the default gateway for all network devices.

  4. Gateway address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateway_address

    The gateway address (or default gateway) is a router interface connected to the local network that sends packets out of the local network. The gateway has a physical and a logical address. The gateway has a physical and a logical address.

  5. Bootstrap Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrap_Protocol

    A broadcast IP datagram cannot pass through any router. The router discards this packet. To solve this problem, there is a need for an intermediary (relay). One of the host or router can be configured at application layer to operate as relay agent. The relay agent knows the uni-cast address of bootp server and listens for broadcast message on ...

  6. Broadcasting (networking) - Wikipedia

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

    In computer networking, telecommunication and information theory, broadcasting is a method of transferring a message to all recipients simultaneously. Broadcasting can be performed as a high-level operation in a program, for example, broadcasting in Message Passing Interface, or it may be a low-level networking operation, for example broadcasting on Ethernet.

  7. Default route - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_route

    The default route in Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) is designated as the zero address, 0.0.0.0 / 0 in CIDR notation. [2] Similarly, in IPv6, the default route is specified by :: / 0. The subnet mask is specified as / 0, which effectively specifies all networks and is the shortest match possible. A route lookup that does not match any other ...

  8. Broadcast domain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_domain

    Broadcast frames from all other sources are directed only to the provider nodes. Traffic from other sources not destined to the provider nodes ( peer-to-peer traffic) is blocked. The result is a network based on a nominally shared transmission system; like Ethernet, but in which client nodes cannot communicate with each other, only with the ...

  9. Java (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_(programming_language)

    Java is a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is a general-purpose programming language intended to let programmers write once, run anywhere (), [16] meaning that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need to recompile.
