Architecture and requirements

•  Computer networking reference models: Add brief definition or description
•  Locality of networks: The assumption, in networking technologies, about the characteristics of the user space they support, and, as importantly, the user spaces they should ignore ^[e]
•  Value of networks: Add brief definition or description
•  Protocol (computer): Rules for communication among devices in a computer network. ^[e]

Subtopics

• Anycast: Add brief definition or description
•  Unicasting: In computer networks, the transmission of a frame, packet, or message, which has a destination address that maps to one and only one target ^[e]
•  Multihoming: A wide range of techniques for providing multiple communications paths among logical or physical points in computer networks, primarily for fault tolerance but also for load distribution or traffic engineering ^[e]

•  Internet Protocol Suite: Add brief definition or description
•  Open Systems Interconnection Reference Model: ISO standard that describes a layered approach to designing computer networks ^[e]
• Asynchronous Transfer Mode Reference Model: Add brief definition or description
• Signaling System 7 Reference Model: Add brief definition or description

• Application layer/level
• Naming and naming protocols
• End-to-End and (Session) level
• Internetwork and routing
• Medium sharing
• Medium attachment
• Transmission media

Applications

•  Computer networking application protocols: Add brief definition or description

• Post Office Protocol version 3: Add brief definition or description (POP3)
•  Simple Mail Transfer Protocol: In the Internet Protocol Suite, SMTP is the basic method for transferring the "envelopes" of electronic mail among servers performing the electronic "post office" function, not the user mailbox function. ^[e] (SMTP)
•  Voice over Internet Protocol: Add brief definition or description

Naming

•  Domain Name System: The Internet service which translates to and from IP addresses and domain names. ^[e]

Subtopics

•  Domain Name System security: A set of extensions to the Domain Name System to protect it from security threats known at the time ^[e]

End-to-End

•  Computer networking end-to-end protocols: Add brief definition or description

Subtopics

•  Transmission Control Protocol: (TCP) A protocol that reliably delivers bytes across an internet. As long as the connection is up, bytes will be delivered without bit errors and in the order they were sent. It does not guarantee latency. ^[e]
•  User Datagram Protocol: Add brief definition or description

Internetwork

•  Computer networking internetwork protocols: Add brief definition or description

Addressing

•  Internet Protocol: Highly resilient protocol for messages sent across the internet, first by being broken into smaller packets (each with the endpoint address attached), then moving among many mid-points by unpredictable routes, and finally being reassembled into the original message at the endpoint. IP version 4 (IPv4) is from 1980 but lacked enough addresses for the entire world and was superseded by IP version 6 (IPv6) in 1998. ^[e]
• Address registry: Add brief definition or description
•  Internet Protocol version 4: Add brief definition or description
•  Internet Protocol version 6: The next-generation Internet Protocol, providing (among other benefits) a vastly increased address space (128bits), which should in turn provide the ability for an end-to-end Internet and allowing new models of communication to be developed. ^[e]
• Internet Protocol version 6 addressing: Add brief definition or description
•  Internet Protocol version 6 deployment: Add brief definition or description

• Routing protocols: Mechanisms that exchange information about the reachability of various network destinations among routers, from which the router control plane builds a "map" of the routing domain ^[e]
•  Open Shortest Path First: Add brief definition or description
•  Intermediate System-Intermediate System: Add brief definition or description

•  Router: A relay that forwards individual packets based on information in their header; typically an Internet Protocol header ^[e]
•  Routing: The process of receiving a packet on one interface of a router, validating the packet and forwarding it out the appropriate interface. ^[e]
•  Routing information base: An electronic table (file) or database type object that is stored in a router or a networked computer. ^[e]
•  Control plane: Add brief definition or description
•  Forwarding information base: Add brief definition or description+

Routing

• Autonomous system: Add brief definition or description
• Border Gateway Protocol: Add brief definition or description
•  Computer networking session protocols: A communication protocol for computer to computer networking. ^[e]
•  Computer networking media attachment protocols: Add brief definition or description
•  Computer networking media sharing protocols: Add brief definition or description
•  Forwarding plane: Add brief definition or description
