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 ...

The last thing you want is to configure your routing protocol to turn VPLS into a frame-relay style network with all traffic routing through a hub site. VPLS looks like a great technology for a small ...

I love new security testing tools. There is nothing quite like finding some magical bits of code allowing you to use and abuse protocols in unique and unnatural ways. I was introduced to Loki at ...

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.

In mobile ad hoc network nodes dynamically forms networks, there is no any central infrastructure, and thus routing becomes a very important issue. Routing protocols used in Mobile Ad hoc NETworks ...

We have recently spoken about IP routing, but there is something else that needs our attention, and it is all about the types of routes found in a routers routing table. It might sound confusing but ...

The proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) has intensified the need for robust and efficient communication protocols, particularly in low power and lossy networks (LLNs) where devices are ...

Sensor networks are highly distributed networks of small, lightweight wireless nodes, deployed in large numbers to monitor the environment or system by the measurement of physical parameters such as ...
