When information travels through a network, it follows certain guidelines to ensure compatibility. Find out about OSI and the protocol stacks that prepare your data for transfer.
RIP operates on the application layer of theOSI model. The configuration process for the Routing Information Protocol is fairly simple. Once IP addresses have been assigned to the involved computers and interfaces of routers, then developers can issue the router RIP command -- which tells the rout...
the OSI Model describes the transmission path that data takes from the end-user level (layer 7: Application Layer) to the physical transmission of bits across communication links and network cards (layer 1: Physical Layer) and all layers in between. ...
A router operates on the Network layer (layer 3) of the OSI model and uses routing tables to understand where traffic is coming from and where it should go. How to Fix the Most Common Wi-Fi Router Problems Managing a Router There will most likely come a time where you need to make ch...
OSI Reference Model-The IS0 Model of Architecture for Open Systems Interconnection Considering the urgency of the need for standards which would allow constitution of heterogeneous computer networks, ISO created a new subcommittee for "Op...
While a network switch is a Layer 2 device on the OSI model, a hub is a Layer 1 physical device. A hub is relatively simple compared to a network switch because, unlike a switch, it doesn't keep track of the addresses of the computers it transfers traffic to. ...
Load Balancer can't apply different rules based on internal traffic content because it operates at Layer 4 (transport layer) of the OSI model. If you need to manage traffic based on its Layer 7 (application layer) properties, you need to deploy a solution like Azure Application Gateway....
To support IP routing, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) extends and modifies IS-IS in relevant standards, which enables IS-IS to be applied to both TCP/IP and Open System Interconnection (OSI) environments. The new type of IS-IS is called Integrated IS-IS or Dual IS-IS. IS-...
FlexE adds a FlexE shim layer between the physical and data link layers of the OSI model to decouple the physical layer from the data link layer. An intelligent transport networkcanuse FlexE to obtain intelligent and flexible hard slices, thereby eliminating port congestion and achieving hard bandw...
Like address resolution protocol, Next Hop Resolution Protocol operates at Layer 2 of the seven-layer Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model reference model for how applications communicate over a network. NHRP is an open standard supported by most major router manufacturers. This includes Cisco, ...
