2. Network address translation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation

   The IP address of a public server is also important, similar in global uniqueness to a postal address or telephone number. Both IP address and port number must be correctly known by all hosts wishing to successfully communicate. Private IP addresses as described in RFC 1918 are usable only on private networks not directly connected to the internet.

   An 'Access Point Name' (APN) is the name of a gateway [2] between a mobile network (GSM, GPRS, 3G, 4G and 5G) and another computer network, frequently the public Internet. [3] Some Important APN Terms: Below are some terms of the APN settings, explaining what each setting stands for: APN: The APN address of your (mobile network operator) MNOs.

4. Carrier-grade NAT - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT

   Carrier-grade NAT. Carrier-grade NAT (CGN or CGNAT), also known as large-scale NAT (LSN), is a type of network address translation (NAT) used by ISPs in IPv4 network design. With CGNAT, end sites, in particular residential networks, are configured with private network addresses that are translated to public IPv4 addresses by middlebox network address translator devices embedded in the network ...

5. Default gateway - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_gateway

   The IP-address could be 91.198.174.2. In this example, none of the internal routers know the route to that host, so they will forward the packet through router1's gateway or default route. [1] Every router on the packet's way to the destination will check whether the packet's destination IP-address matches any known network routes. If a router ...

6. IP routing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_routing

   The IP forwarding algorithm is a specific implementation of routing for IP networks. In order to achieve a successful transfer of data, the algorithm uses a routing table to select a next-hop router as the next destination for a datagram. The IP address of the selected router is known as the next-hop address. [1] The IP forwarding algorithm ...

7. Router (computing) - Wikipedia

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

   A router is considered a layer-3 device because its primary forwarding decision is based on the information in the layer-3 IP packet, specifically the destination IP address. When a router receives a packet, it searches its routing table to find the best match between the destination IP address of the packet and one of the addresses in the ...

   Google Fiber provides an Internet connection speed of up to eight gigabits per second (8,000 Mbit/s) for download and eight gigabit per second (8,000 Mbit/s) upload. [125] Google Fiber says its original 1 Gbit/s download service allows for the download of a full movie in less than two minutes. [126]
