IP routing is the application of traffic routing methodologies to IP networks. This involves technologies, protocols, structure, administrations, and policies...

Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR /ˈsaɪdər, ˈsɪ-/) is a method for allocating IP addresses for IP routing. The Internet Engineering Task Force introduced...

Routing is the process of selecting a path for traffic in a network or between or across multiple networks. Broadly, routing is performed in many types...

In this, the IP address is followed by a slash and the number (in decimal) of bits used for the network part, also called the routing prefix. For example...

Protocol (IP) is the network layer communications protocol in the Internet protocol suite for relaying datagrams across network boundaries. Its routing function...

information in the layer-3 IP packet, specifically the destination IP address. When a router receives a packet, it searches its routing table to find the best...

other routing protocols defined by the IETF are transported over IP, and, for the purpose of sending and receiving routing protocol packets, routers act...

The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is one of the oldest distance-vector routing protocols which employs the hop count as a routing metric. RIP prevents...

most-significant bits of their IP addresses. This results in the logical division of an IP address into two fields: the network number or routing prefix, and the rest...

networking, a routing table, or routing information base (RIB), is a data table stored in a router or a network host that lists the routes to particular...

Hierarchical routing is a method of routing in networks that is based on hierarchical addressing. Most Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) routing...

Static routing describes a process by which routing is configured with fixed values that do not change at runtime unless manually edited. Static routes are...

Multicast routing is one of the routing protocols in IP networking. There are several multicast routing protocols supporting communications where data...

Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) is an advanced distance-vector routing protocol that is used on a computer network for automating routing decisions...

(IP) routers to participating hosts. This increases the availability and reliability of routing paths via automatic default gateway selections on an IP subnetwork...

typically support IP routing between VLANs configured on the switch. Some layer-3 switches support the routing protocols that routers use to exchange information...

Triangular routing is a method for transmitting packets of data in communications networks. It uses a form of routing that sends a packet to a proxy system...

logical addressing system which allows the routing of IP data packets from a source host to the next router that is one hop closer to the intended destination...

Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) addressing model. OSPF is an interior gateway protocol (IGP) for routing Internet Protocol (IP) packets within a single routing domain...

addressing and routing methodology in which a single IP address is shared by devices (generally servers) in multiple locations. Routers direct packets...
