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 ...

How does an SDN interoperate with the rest of the network? SDN Doesn't Operate Alone Software Defined Networks don't operate alone. They will have to interoperate with other SDNs and with other parts ...

Researchers have found a new approach to finding shortest paths, but it's complex Systems Approach Last year a couple of people forwarded to me the same article on a new method of finding shortest ...

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.

Routing protocols have far-reaching effects on the performance and reliability of your network, but sorting out the differences between them can be a challenge. Choose the best one for your network by ...

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.

I love new security testing tools. There is nothing quite like finding some magical bits of code allowing you to use and abuse protocols in unique and unnatural ways. I was introduced to Loki at ...

The routing of data from source to sink is an integral part of any large-scale wireless sensing and Internet of Things (IoT) solution. Unplugged and/or mobile embedded devices used in such low-powered ...
