  2. Anycast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anycast

    Anycast is a network addressing and routing methodology in which a single IP address is shared by devices (generally servers) in multiple locations. Routers direct packets addressed to this destination to the location nearest the sender, using their normal decision-making algorithms, typically the lowest number of BGP network hops.

  3. Border Gateway Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_Gateway_Protocol

    Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a standardized exterior gateway protocol designed to exchange routing and reachability information among autonomous systems (AS) on the Internet. [2] BGP is classified as a path-vector routing protocol, [3] and it makes routing decisions based on paths, network policies, or rule-sets configured by a network ...

  4. Multicast routing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_routing

    It is Core-Based Tree, selecting one router in the network as the root and transmitting information through the root router. Maximum delay in the tree is longer than SBT(Source-based tree), The core router manages all the information, and the remaining routers manage the direction of the core and the multicast information requested by the current neighboring router. it has a Good Scalability ...

  5. Path-vector routing protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path-vector_routing_protocol

    Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is an example of a path vector protocol. In BGP, the autonomous system boundary routers (ASBR) send path-vector messages to advertise the reachability of networks. Each router that receives a path vector message must verify the advertised path according to its policy.

  6. 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.

  7. IP address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address

    Anycast addressing is a built-in feature of IPv6. [ 26 ] [ 27 ] In IPv4, anycast addressing is implemented with Border Gateway Protocol using the shortest-path metric to choose destinations. Anycast methods are useful for global load balancing and are commonly used in distributed DNS systems.

  8. GeoDNS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodns

    As this technology is DNS based, it is much easier to deploy than BGP anycast. It does not require any support from the ISP and will not break existing connections when the server selected for a particular client changes. However, as it is not intimately tied into the network infrastructure it is likely to be less accurate at sending data to ...

  9. Routing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routing

    Anycast delivers a message to any one out of a group of nodes, typically the one nearest to the source using a one-to-one-of-many [1] association where datagrams are routed to any single member of a group of potential receivers that are all identified by the same destination address. The routing algorithm selects the single receiver from the ...
