Parent topics
- Internet Protocol Suite [r]: The real-world set of networking protocols, with administrative and operational conventions, which populate the real-world working Internet [e]
- Locality of networks [r]: The assumption, in networking technologies, about the characteristics of the user space they support, and, as importantly, the user spaces they should ignore [e]
Subtopics
- Address registry [r]: An organization, usually at a continental level, that allocates parts of the Internet Protocol (versions 4 and 6) space, as well as autonomous system numbers, and maintains public servers from which information on these allocations can be retrieved [e]
- Internet Protocol version 4 [r]: The main internetwork (also called hop-by-hop or network layer) protocol of the existing Internet and products compatible with the Internet Protocol Suite, to be replaced by Internet Protocol version 6 [e]
- Internet Protocol version 6 [r]: The next-generation Internet Protocol, providing (among other benefits) a vastly increased address space (128bits), which should in turn provide the ability for an end-to-end Internet and allowing new models of communication to be developed. [e]
- Internet Protocol version 6 address management [r]: Those operational best practices that go into obtaining Internet Protocol version 6 address space and developing an address assignment plan [e]
- Internet Protocol version 6 deployment [r]: As opposed to the protocol mechanisms or addressing conventions, these are the operational matters that arise in deploying IPv6, including interoperability among implementations, support tools, and coexistence techniques [e]
Other related topics
- Computer networking end-to-end protocols [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Multihoming [r]: A wide range of techniques for providing multiple communications paths among logical or physical points in computer networks, primarily for fault tolerance but also for load distribution or traffic engineering [e]
- Routing [r]: The process of receiving a packet on one interface of a router, validating the packet and forwarding it out the appropriate interface. [e]
- Virtual private network [r]: A communications system that interconnects one or more customer-defined set of sites with routed, data link, or physical connectivity, mapped through an underlying customer-owned or provider-provisioned backbone. It may provided connectivity alone, or connectivity with guarantees of security and quality of service. [e]
