CCNA: Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)

The Network DNA

CCNA: Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) In this article, we will talk about ARP that maps the layer 3 address to the layer 2 MAC address. This is similar to Address Resolution Protocol, which maps layer 3 IP addresses to the layer MAC addresses. CCNA RnS Article #28: Why Spanning Tree Protocol? IP address.

Network Engineering

My current conclusion is: L3 is better for local scenario (like localhost or Intranet) while L7 is for Internet. Imagine that for some reason we need to set up port forwarding between two hosts from all different continents (a total of three hosts, named A lice, P roxy, and B ob). Or is what I said completely nonsense?

Multi-Path TCP: revolutionizing connectivity, one path at a time

CloudFaire

The Internet is designed to provide multiple paths between two endpoints. Attempts to exploit multi-path opportunities are almost as old as the Internet, culminating in RFCs documenting some of the challenges. As a result, Internet devices usually use a single path and let the routers handle the path selection. 4321 hmac 0x.,nop,nop],

Introduction to Micro-BFD ( BFD over Port channel)

The Network DNA

Introduction to Micro-BFD ( BFD over Port channel) Micro BFD sessions are those that run on member links of the port channel. Micro BFD sessions are available for both LACP and non-LACP-based port channels. This approach provides faster failure detection because BFD sessions are formed on individual port-channel interfaces.
