IS-IS

Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) is a link-state routing protocol used in computer networks to determine the best paths for data packet forwarding within a single autonomous system (AS). Similar to OSPF (Open Shortest Path First), IS-IS is designed for interior gateway routing and is commonly used within large and complex networks, including Internet …

Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP)

Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) is a type of routing protocol used to exchange routing information between different autonomous systems (ASes) in a network. Unlike Interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs), which focus on routing within a single AS, EGP is designed to facilitate routing between separate administrative domains. The primary purpose of EGP is to enable routers …

Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP)

Interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs) are a type of routing protocol used within a single autonomous system (AS) in a computer network. An autonomous system is a collection of IP networks and routers under a single administrative domain. IGPs are responsible for determining the best paths for routing data packets within the boundaries of the same …

BGP

BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is a standardized routing protocol used in computer networks to exchange routing and reachability information between autonomous systems (ASes). An autonomous system is a collection of IP networks and routers under a single administrative entity. BGP plays a crucial role in the functioning of the internet, as it helps determine the …

ARP

ARP stands for Address Resolution Protocol. It is a protocol used to map a network address, such as an IP address, to a physical (MAC) address on a local network. For instance, When a device on a network wants to communicate with another device, it needs to know the other device’s MAC address. ARP allows …
