Penultimate hop popping (PHP) is specified in RFC 3031 Section 3.16 and is a function performed by certain routers in an MPLS enabled network. It refers to the process whereby the outermost label of an MPLS tagged packet is removed by a label switch router (LSR) before the packet is passed to an adjacent label edge router (LER).
A routing table is a database that keeps track of paths, like a map, and uses these to determine which way to forward traffic. A routing table is a data file in RAM that is used to store route information about directly connected and remote networks. Nodes can also share the contents of their routing table with other nodes.
Multicast routing may require an additional routing table for multicast routes. Several routing protocols e.g. IS-IS, OSPF and BGP maintain internal databases of candidate routes which are promoted when a route fails or when a routing policy is changed. Several different information sources may provide information about a route to a given ...
A simple work-around is to perform input filtering, thus limiting the local route database to a subset of the global table. [1] This can be done by filtering on prefix length (eliminating all routes for prefixes longer than a given value), on AS count, or on some combination of the two; security is the most important point for this.
Route poisoning is a method to prevent a router from sending packets through a route that has become invalid within computer networks. Distance-vector routing protocols in computer networks use route poisoning to indicate to other routers that a route is no longer reachable and should not be considered from their routing tables.
Static routes, connected routes, and routes from dynamic configuration protocols can be redistributed by dynamic routing protocols. For instance, a router may have a static or connected route for a local network segment, which is then redistributed over dynamic routing protocols to enable connectivity to that network.
Split-horizon routing with poison reverse [4] is a variant of split-horizon route advertising in which a router actively advertises routes as unreachable over the interface over which they were learned by setting the route metric to infinite (16 for RIP). The effect of such an announcement is to immediately remove most looping routes before ...
