What are IP Routing Protocols? A routing protocol is a set of rule(s) or standards that determines how routers on a network communicate and exchange information with each other, enabling them to select the best routes to a remote network. Each router has priority knowledge only of networks attached to it directly. Routers running routing protocol share this… Read More »

Each host typically has VPN client software loaded or uses a web-based client. A remote-access VPN host or client typically has VPN client software. Whenever the host tries to send… Read More »
What is Static Route? Static routing is when network administrators manually add or configure routes on each router interface with IP addresses. This can be a challenging task, particularly in the management of large networks. Dynamic routing protocols, on the other hand, automate the process of updating routing tables and exchanging route information between routers. This can greatly… Read More »
IPv6 migration is the process of transitioning from IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) to IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) in network infrastructures. This migration is essential due to the limitations of IPv4, primarily its limited address space, and the growing need for more internet addresses. Let’s explore further into the key aspects of this migration: Background: IPv4 Limitations… Read More »
