  2. Reverse-path forwarding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse-path_forwarding

    Reverse-path forwarding (RPF) is a technique used in modern routers for the purposes of ensuring loop-free forwarding of multicast packets in multicast routing and to help prevent IP address spoofing in unicast routing.

  3. Multicast routing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_routing

    To implement the multicast routing, Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) and a multicast routing protocol (Reverse-path forwarding, PIM-SM) for registration subscriber grouping and control traffic are required for multicast transmission. [2] [3] [4] Regarding IP multicast, it is a technique for one-to-many communication over an IP network ...

  4. Flooding (computer networking) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flooding_(computer_networking)

    Controlled flooding has its own two algorithms to make it reliable, SNCF (Sequence Number Controlled Flooding) and RPF (reverse-path forwarding). In SNCF, the node attaches its own address and sequence number to the packet, since every node has a memory of addresses and sequence numbers.

  5. Forwarding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forwarding

    Perfect forwarding, a feature of the programming language C++11 Port forwarding , the act of forwarding a network port from one network node to another Reverse-path forwarding , a technique used in routers for ensuring loop-free forwarding of packets in multicast routing and to help prevent IP address spoofing in unicast routing

  6. Routing table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routing_table

    Routing tables are also a key aspect of certain security operations, such as unicast reverse path forwarding (uRPF). [2] In this technique, which has several variants, the router also looks up, in the routing table, the source address of the packet. If there exists no route back to the source address, the packet is assumed to be malformed or ...

  7. IP multicast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_multicast

    The router determines which downstream interfaces are destinations for this multicast group (the destination address), and sends the packet out through the appropriate interfaces. The term reverse-path forwarding is used to describe this concept of routing packets away from the source, rather than towards the destination.

  8. Reverse connection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_connection

    A reverse connection is usually used to bypass firewall restrictions on open ports. [1] A firewall usually blocks incoming connections on closed ports, but does not block outgoing traffic . In a normal forward connection, a client connects to a server through the server's open port , but in the case of a reverse connection, the client opens the ...

  9. Topology dissemination based on reverse-path forwarding

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topology_Dissemination...

    Topology broadcast based on reverse-path forwarding (TBRPF) is a link-state routing protocol for wireless mesh networks. The obvious design for a wireless link-state protocol (such as the optimized link-state routing protocol) transmits large amounts of routing data, and this limits the utility of a link-state protocol when the network is made of moving nodes.
