    The flaw allows a remote attacker to recover the WPS PIN and, with it, the router's WPA/WPA2 password in a few hours. [48] Users have been urged to turn off the WPS feature, [49] although this may not be possible on some router models. Also, the PIN is written on a label on most Wi-Fi routers with WPS, which cannot be changed if compromised.

    It is a subset of flow control methods called flit-buffer flow control. [1]: Chapter 13.2.1 Switching is a more appropriate term than routing, as "routing" defines the route or path taken to reach the destination. [2] [3] The wormhole technique does not dictate the route to the destination but decides when the packet moves forward from a router.
