In a computer network, the transmission of data is based on the routing protocol which selects the best routes between any two nodes. Different types of routing protocols are applied to specific ...

Network layer routing protocols provide the communication protocols and algorithms for determining routes to every destination and also for distributing the routing information throughout the network.

Many enterprises use OSPF version 2 for their internal IPv4 routing protocol. OSPF has gone through changes over the years and the protocol has been adapted to work with IPv6. As organizations start ...

so, this is my first foray into dynamic routing and so far i have accomplished a minimum amount of setup in my environment. i have a linux based router running ospf, and two linux servers ...

Network Engineers are always looking for new ways to gain some low-cost network testing capabilities. Few companies sufficiently fund networking labs for their networking teams to learn on prior to ...

Cisco Systems said attackers could disrupt or intercept traffic in many of its networking products unless a new security update is applied to the software they run. The issue affects the ...

A complex routing protocol that shares information with other routers in order to determine the best path. IS-IS was the first comprehensive link state protocol, and OSPF and NLSP evolved from it.

Data center routing is evolving. Some might even say, “finally!” the industry has been working too long with traditional routing protocols from the telecom and enterprise network environments. Now is ...
