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 ...

Routing protocols designed for low power and lossy networks (LLNs) have become pivotal in realising the vast potential of the Internet of Things (IoT) and wireless sensor systems. These protocols, ...

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.

Will this new packet-forwarding mechanism replace OpenFlow for software-defined networking? IP packet forwarding techniques traditionally have relied on taking the shortest path to the destination IP ...

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 ...

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 ...

Servers could be haunted by a ghost from the 1980s, as hackers have started abusing an obsolete routing protocol to launch distributed denial-of-service attacks. DDoS attacks observed in May by the ...
