Researchers have found a new approach to finding shortest paths, but it's complex Systems Approach Last year a couple of ...

In a computer network, the transmission of data is based on the routing protocol which selects the best routes between any two nodes. Different types of routing protocols are applied to specific ...

How does an SDN interoperate with the rest of the network? SDN Doesn't Operate Alone Software Defined Networks don't operate alone. They will have to interoperate with other SDNs and with other parts ...

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.

Data center routing is evolving. Some might even say, “finally!” the industry has been working too long with traditional routing protocols from the telecom and enterprise network environments. Now is ...

Routing is the process of determining where to send data packets that are destined for addresses outside the local network. Routers gather and maintain routing information to enable the transmission ...

Performance of a network is based on routing protocols. RIPv1, RIPv2, EIGRP and OSPF are the dynamic routing protocols being used in the practical networks to propagate network topology information to ...

Network Engineers are always looking for new ways to gain some low-cost network testing capabilities. Few companies sufficiently fund networking labs for their networking teams to learn on prior to ...
