  2. Triangular routing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_routing

    It uses a form of routing that sends a packet to a proxy system before transmission to the intended destination. Triangular routing is a problem in mobile IP; however, it finds applications in other networking situations, for instance to avoid problems associated with network address translation (NAT), implemented for example by Skype.

  4. Internet Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Protocol

    IP was the connectionless datagram service in the original Transmission Control Program introduced by Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn in 1974, which was complemented by a connection-oriented service that became the basis for the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). The Internet protocol suite is therefore often referred to as TCP/IP. The first major ...

  5. IP header - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_header

    IP packets consist of a header for addressing and routing, and a payload for user data. The header contains information about IP version, source IP address, destination IP address, time-to-live, etc. The payload of an IP packet is typically a datagram or segment of the higher-level transport layer protocol, but may be data for an internet layer ...

  6. Routing protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routing_protocol

    Classification of routing protocols for computer networks. A routing protocol specifies how routers communicate with each other to distribute information that enables them to select paths between nodes on a computer network.

  7. IP in IP - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_in_IP

    IP in IP is an IP tunneling protocol that encapsulates one IP packet in another IP packet. To encapsulate an IP packet in another IP packet, an outer header is added with Source IP, the entry point of the tunnel, and Destination IP, the exit point of the tunnel. While doing this, the inner packet is unmodified (except the TTL field, which is ...

  8. Packet switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_switching

    Packet switching is used in the Internet and most local area networks. The Internet is implemented by the Internet Protocol Suite using a variety of link layer technologies. For example, Ethernet and Frame Relay are common. Newer mobile phone technologies (e.g., GSM, LTE) also use packet switching. Packet switching is associated with ...

  9. Transport layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_layer

    The protocols in use today in this layer for the Internet all originated in the development of TCP/IP. In the OSI model the transport layer is often referred to as Layer 4, or L4, [2] while numbered layers are not used in TCP/IP. The best-known transport protocol of the Internet protocol suite is the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).
