  2. Reverse-path forwarding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse-path_forwarding

    The thought being that traffic is denied if it fails the RPF check and is therefore filtered. While uRPF is used as an ingress filtering mechanism, it is affected by reverse-path forwarding. Reverse path filters are typically used to disable asymmetric routing where an IP application has a different incoming and outgoing routing path.

  3. Flooding (computer networking) - Wikipedia

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

    Controlled flooding has its own two algorithms to make it reliable, SNCF (Sequence Number Controlled Flooding) and RPF (reverse-path forwarding). In SNCF, the node attaches its own address and sequence number to the packet, since every node has a memory of addresses and sequence numbers.

  4. Multicast routing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_routing

    A multicast routing protocol is a mechanism for constructing a loop-free shortest path from a source host that sends data to the multiple destinations that receives the data. IPv4 uses Class D address (224.0.0.0 ~ 239.255.255.255) [ 2 ] IPv6 multicast provides the previous feature of IPv4 and a new IPv6 feature, allowing a host to send a single ...

  5. Forwarding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forwarding

    Perfect forwarding, a feature of the programming language C++11; Port forwarding, the act of forwarding a network port from one network node to another; Reverse-path forwarding, a technique used in routers for ensuring loop-free forwarding of packets in multicast routing and to help prevent IP address spoofing in unicast routing

  6. Protocol-Independent Multicast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocol-Independent_Multicast

    PIM uses the unicast routing table for reverse-path forwarding. [1]: 56–57 There are four variants of PIM: PIM Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) explicitly builds unidirectional shared trees rooted at a rendezvous point (RP) per group, and optionally creates shortest-path trees per source. PIM-SM generally scales fairly well for wide-area usage.

  7. IP multicast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_multicast

    The term reverse-path forwarding is used to describe this concept of routing packets away from the source, rather than towards the destination. A number of errors can happen if packets intended for unicast are accidentally sent to a multicast address; in particular, sending ICMP packets to a multicast address has been used in the context of DoS ...

  8. Proxy pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_pattern

    In computer programming, the proxy pattern is a software design pattern.A proxy, in its most general form, is a class functioning as an interface to something else.The proxy could interface to anything: a network connection, a large object in memory, a file, or some other resource that is expensive or impossible to duplicate.

  9. Topology dissemination based on reverse-path forwarding

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topology_Dissemination...

    Topology broadcast based on reverse-path forwarding (TBRPF) is a link-state routing protocol for wireless mesh networks. The obvious design for a wireless link-state protocol (such as the optimized link-state routing protocol) transmits large amounts of routing data, and this limits the utility of a link-state protocol when the network is made of moving nodes.
