Understanding network protocols and packet processing in Linux is vital for system administrators and network engineers. By mastering these concepts, professionals can effectively manage, troubleshoot ...

Many network security audits uncover weak security practices in regards to layer 3 protocols used to build corporate routing tables.

Routing protocols designed for low power and lossy networks (LLNs) have become pivotal in realising the vast potential of the Internet of Things (IoT) and wireless sensor systems. These protocols ...

Using a Raspberry Pi as a low-cost dual-protocol router Network Engineers are always looking for new ways to gain some low-cost network testing capabilities.

Routing protocols were created for routers. These protocols have been designed to allow the exchange of routing tables, or known networks, between routers. There are a lot of different routing ...

In mobile ad hoc network nodes dynamically forms networks, there is no any central infrastructure, and thus routing becomes a very important issue.

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.

This post explains what is IP routing and the various Routing protocols - Distance vector (RIP, IGRP) and Link state (OSPF, IS-IS).
