  2. Bandwidth throttling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth_throttling

    Limiting the speed of data sent by a data originator (a client computer or a server computer) is much more efficient than limiting the speed in an intermediate network device between client and server because while in the first case usually no network packets are lost, in the second case network packets can be lost / discarded whenever ingoing data speed overcomes the bandwidth limit or the ...

  3. Rate limiting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_limiting

    While a hardware appliance can limit the rate for a given range of IP-addresses on layer 4, it risks blocking a network with many users which are masked by NAT with a single IP address of an ISP. Deep packet inspection can be used to filter on the session layer but will effectively disarm encryption protocols like TLS and SSL between the ...

    1500 [7] Nearly all IP over Ethernet implementations use the Ethernet II frame format. Ethernet with LLC and SNAP: 1492 [8] Ethernet jumbo frames: 1501–9202 [9] or more [10] The limit varies by vendor. For correct interoperation, frames should be no larger than the maximum frame size supported by any device on the network segment. [11] PPPoE ...

  6. Deep packet inspection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_packet_inspection

    [7] DPI-enabled devices have the ability to look at Layer 2 and beyond Layer 3 of the OSI model. In some cases, DPI can be invoked to look through Layer 2-7 of the OSI model. This includes headers and data protocol structures as well as the payload of the message.

  7. Internet Control Message Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Control_Message...

    ICMP is a network-layer protocol; this makes it a layer 3 protocol in the seven-layer OSI model. Based on the four-layer TCP/IP model, ICMP is an internet-layer protocol, which makes it a layer 2 protocol in the Internet Standard RFC 1122 TCP/IP four-layer model or a layer 3 protocol in the modern five-layer TCP/IP protocol definitions (by ...

  8. Link aggregation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_aggregation

    In addition, there is a basic layer-3 aggregation [22] that allows servers with multiple IP interfaces on the same network to perform load balancing, and for home users with more than one internet connection, to increase connection speed by sharing the load on all interfaces. [23]

  9. TCP tuning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP_tuning

    TCP tuning techniques adjust the network congestion avoidance parameters of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connections over high-bandwidth, high-latency networks. Well-tuned networks can perform up to 10 times faster in some cases. [1]
