  2. Subnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnet

    The subnet router anycast address is the lowest address in the subnet, so it looks like the “network address”. If a router has multiple subnets on the same link, then it has multiple subnet router anycast addresses on that link. [ 19 ]

  3. Screened subnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screened_subnet

    In network security a screened subnet refers to the use of one or more logical screening routers as a firewall to define three separate subnets: an external router (sometimes called an access router), that separates the external network from a perimeter network, and an internal router (sometimes called a choke router) that separates the ...

  4. Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Router_Redundancy...

    In cases where secondary/standby routers all have the same priority, the secondary/standby router with the highest IP address becomes the primary/active router. All physical routers acting as a virtual router must be in the same local area network (LAN) segment. Communication within the virtual router takes place periodically.

  5. Supernetwork - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernetwork

    Each router now only recognizes its own subnet and the other 49 summarized routes. The determination of the summary route on a router involves the recognition of the number of highest-order bits that match all addresses. The summary route is calculated as follows. A router has the following networks in its routing table:

  6. DMZ (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMZ_(computing)

    The router's firewall exposes all ports on the DMZ host to the external network and hinders no inbound traffic from the outside going to the DMZ host. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] This is a less secure alternative to port forwarding , which only exposes a handful of ports.

  7. Default route - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_route

    The route evaluation process in each router uses the longest prefix match method to obtain the most specific route. The network with the longest subnet mask or network prefix that matches the destination IP address is the next-hop network gateway. The process repeats until a packet is delivered to the destination host, or earlier along the ...

  8. Anycast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anycast

    Anycast is a network addressing and routing methodology in which a single IP address is shared by devices (generally servers) in multiple locations. Routers direct packets addressed to this destination to the location nearest the sender, using their normal decision-making algorithms, typically the lowest number of BGP network hops.

  9. Service set (802.11 network) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_set_(802.11_network)

    It is a set of one or more infrastructure basic service sets on a common logical network segment (i.e. same IP subnet and VLAN). [18] Key to the concept is that the participating basic service sets appear as a single network to the logical link control layer by using the same SSID.
