  2. localhost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost

    In computer networking, localhost is a hostname that refers to the current computer used to access it. The name localhost is reserved for loopback purposes. [1] It is used to access the network services that are running on the host via the loopback network interface.

  3. Link-local address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link-local_address

    Link-local addresses may be assigned manually by an administrator or by automatic operating system procedures. In Internet Protocol (IP) networks, they are assigned most often using stateless address autoconfiguration, a process that often uses a stochastic process to select the value of link-local addresses, assigning a pseudo-random address that is different for each session.

  4. Multicast address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_address

    Interface-local Packets with this destination address may not be sent over any network link, but must remain within the current node; this is the multicast equivalent of the unicast loopback address. ffx2::/16: 224.0.0.0/24: Link-local Packets with this destination address may not be routed anywhere. ffx3::/16: 239.255.0.0/16: Realm-Local scope ...

  5. Platform Invocation Services - Wikipedia

    The resulting C# wrapper has the similar interface of the C++ counterpart with the parameter type converted to the .NET code. This tool recognizes template classes which is not exported from the C++ DLL and instantiates the template class and export it in a supplement DLL and the corresponding C++ interface can be used in .NET.

  6. Loopback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loopback

    Where a system (such as a modem) involves round-trip analog-to-digital processing, a distinction is made between analog loopback, where the analog signal is looped back directly, and digital loopback, where the signal is processed in the digital domain before being re-converted to an analog signal and returned to the source.

  7. Loop device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_device

    umount /home/you/dir # or, after finding the associated loop number by e.g. mount | grep "/home/you/dir" # or losetup -a | grep example.img umount /dev/loop<N> At a lower level application programming interface , the association and disassociation of a file with a loop device is performed with the ioctl system call on a loop device.

  8. Read–eval–print loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Read–eval–print_loop

    In 1964, the expression READ-EVAL-PRINT cycle is used by L. Peter Deutsch and Edmund Berkeley for an implementation of Lisp on the PDP-1. [3] Just one month later, Project Mac published a report by Joseph Weizenbaum (the creator of ELIZA, the world's first chatbot) describing a REPL-based language, called OPL-1, implemented in his Fortran-SLIP language on the Compatible Time Sharing System (CTSS).

  9. Unique local address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_local_address

    A unique local address (ULA) is an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) address in the address range fc00:: / 7. [1] These addresses are non-globally reachable [2] (routable only within the scope of private networks, but not the global IPv6 Internet). Because they are not globally reachable, ULAs are somewhat analogous to IPv4 private network ...
