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.

CCNA: TCP SEQ and Port Number

The Network DNA

CCNA: TCP Sequence & Port Number This article can be read as the second part of the previous article CCNA: 3-Way Handshake where we discussed what makes TCP a reliable protocol for transmitting information. Lets discuss the TCP SEQ and Port numbers in this article. These applications are identified using the port numbers.

Is L7 port forward better than L3 on Internet? [closed]

Network Engineering

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). I'm also curious, if I use eBPF to offload this forwarding, can I let the packets go through the protocol stack to avoid the above situation? Please correct me.

What is a TCP Port: Different Between TCP and UDP Ports

NW Kings

Understanding TCP ports is essential for managing network traffic and ensuring effective communication. But what is a TCP port? This blog will delve into what a TCP port is, how it works, its significance in networking, and the different types of ports, including well-known and dynamic ports. What is a TCP Port?

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.

Protocols of Transport Layer Explained

NW Kings

The protocols of transport layer play a significant role in data transmission across the network, ensuring reliable communication between sender and receiver. This blog will explore the key protocols within the transport layer, focusing on TCP ( Transmission Control Protocol ) and UDP (User Datagram Protocol) in detail.

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

CloudFaire

It's a major extension to the TCP protocol, and historically most of the TCP changes failed to gain traction. After the initial TCP handshake, each peer may announce additional addresses (and ports) on which it can be reached. Typically, the server allows the client to reuse the server IP/port address. There are caveats though.
