IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) is a version of the Internet Protocol (IP) that was created to replace IPv4, the current version of the Internet Protocol that is widely used today. It was developed to address the growing shortage of available IPv4 addresses, as well as to provide additional features and improve security. One of […]
Routing protocols are used to exchange information about network routes between devices on a network. One way to determine which routing protocol to use is by considering the administrative distance. The administrative distance is a measure of the trustworthiness of a routing protocol. It is a value assigned to each routing protocol, a lower value […]
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is a routing protocol used for Internet Protocol (IP) networks. It is a link-state protocol, meaning that it exchanges information about the entire network rather than just the next hop like distance vector protocols. This allows OSPF to calculate the shortest path to a destination using the Dijkstra algorithm. One […]
