    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IP_version_numbers

    The first working version that was widely deployed was assigned version number 4. [10] A separate protocol based on reliable connections was developed and assigned version 5. IP version 7 was chosen in 1988 by R. Ullmann as the next IP version because he incorrectly assumed that version 6 was in use for ST-II.

  3. List of network protocols (OSI model) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_network_protocols...

    This article lists protocols, categorized by the nearest layer in the Open Systems Interconnection model. This list is not exclusive to only the OSI protocol family . Many of these protocols are originally based on the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) and other models and they often do not fit neatly into OSI layers.

    IPv4 address exhaustion timeline. IPv4 address exhaustion is the depletion of the pool of unallocated IPv4 addresses.Because the original Internet architecture had fewer than 4.3 billion addresses available, depletion has been anticipated since the late 1980s when the Internet started experiencing dramatic growth.

  5. Gateway address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateway_address

    The gateway is on the same network as end devices. The gateway address must have the same subnet mask as host devices. Each host on the network uses the same gateway. The gateway should have a static address, as changing the address would cause packets not to be delivered. The gateway is typically assigned either the highest or lowest network ...

    Early versions of this networking model were known as the Department of Defense (DoD) model because the research and development were funded by the United States Department of Defense through DARPA. The Internet protocol suite provides end-to-end data communication specifying how data should be packetized, addressed, transmitted, routed , and ...

    By 1984, the international reference model OSI model, which was not compatible with TCP/IP, had been agreed upon. Many European governments (particularly France, West Germany and the UK) and the United States Department of Commerce mandated compliance with the OSI model, while the US Department of Defense planned to transition from TCP/IP to OSI.

    The 3B series computers [1] [2] are a line of minicomputers [3] made between the late 1970s and 1993 by AT&T Computer Systems' Western Electric subsidiary, for use with the company's UNIX operating system. The line primarily consists of the models 3B20, 3B5, 3B15, 3B2, and 3B4000.

  9. Internet Gateway Device Protocol - Wikipedia

    Without IGD one has to manually configure the gateway to allow traffic through, a process which is error-prone and time-consuming. UPnP comes with a solution for network address translation traversal (NAT traversal) that implements IGD. IGD makes it easy to do the following: Add and remove port mappings; Assign lease times to mappings
