RFC 1122 refers to 0.0.0.0 using the notation {0,0}. It prohibits this as a destination address in IPv4 and only allows it as a source address under specific circumstances. A host may use 0.0.0.0 as its own source address in IP when it has not yet been assigned an address, such as when sending the initial DHCPDISCOVER packet when using DHCP.
bind() is typically used on the server side, and associates a socket with a socket address structure, i.e. a specified local IP address and a port number. listen() is used on the server side, and causes a bound TCP socket to enter listening state. connect() is used on the client side, and assigns a free local port number to a socket. In case of ...
The address 127.0.0.1 is the standard address for IPv4 loopback traffic; the rest are not supported by all operating systems. However, they can be used to set up multiple server applications on the host, all listening on the same port number. In the IPv6 addressing architecture [3] there is only a single address assigned for loopback: ::1. The ...
The format of a zone file is defined in RFC 1035 (section 5) and RFC 1034 (section 3.6.1). This format was originally used by the Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) software package, but has been widely adopted by other DNS server software – though some of them (e.g. NSD, PowerDNS) are using the zone files only as a starting point to compile them into database format, see also Microsoft ...
Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR / ˈ s aɪ d ər, ˈ s ɪ-/) is a method for allocating IP addresses for IP routing.The Internet Engineering Task Force introduced CIDR in 1993 to replace the previous classful network addressing architecture on the Internet.
