  2. Winsock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winsock

    The Windows Sockets project had its origins in a Birds of a Feather session held at Interop '91 in San Jose on October 10, 1991. [1] It is based on socket specifications created by NetManage and which it put into public domain at this meeting. At the time the NetManage socket was the only 100% DLL-based, multi-threaded product for Windows 3.0 ...

  3. Network address translation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation

    Address of a local computer: 192.168.1.100; If a packet is sent to 203.0.113.1 by a computer at 192.168.1.100, the packet would normally be routed to the default gateway (the router) [d] A router with the NAT loopback feature detects that 203.0.113.1 is the address of its WAN interface, and treats the packet as if coming from that interface. It ...

  4. List of assigned /8 IPv4 address blocks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assigned_/8_IPv4...

    Some large / 8 blocks of IPv4 addresses, the former Class A network blocks, are assigned in whole to single organizations or related groups of organizations, either by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), through the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), or a regional Internet registry.

  5. QUIC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QUIC

    The first change is to greatly reduce overhead during connection setup. As most HTTP connections will demand TLS, QUIC makes the exchange of setup keys and listing of supported protocols part of the initial handshake process. When a client opens a connection, the response packet includes the data needed for future packets to use encryption.

  6. Loop device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_device

    A loop device may allow some kind of data elaboration during this redirection. For example, the device may be the unencrypted version of an encrypted file. In such a case, the file associated with a loop device may be another pseudo-device. This is mostly useful when this device contains an encrypted file system.

  7. Packet loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_loss

    Packet loss in a TCP connection is also used to avoid congestion and thus produces an intentionally reduced throughput for the connection. In real-time applications like streaming media or online games, packet loss can affect a user's quality of experience (QoE).

  8. WebSocket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebSocket

    The client sends an HTTP request (method GET, version ≥ 1.1) and the server returns an HTTP response with status code 101 (Switching Protocols) on success.This means a WebSocket server can use the same port as HTTP (80) and HTTPS (443) because the handshake is compatible with HTTP.

  9. IPv6 address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6_address

    IPv6 addresses are assigned to organizations in much larger blocks as compared to IPv4 address assignments—the recommended allocation is a / 48 block which contains 2 80 addresses, being 2 48 or about 2.8 × 10 14 times larger than the entire IPv4 address space of 2 32 addresses and about 7.2 × 10 16 times larger than the / 8 blocks of IPv4 ...
