Routing Configuration Flashcards
are specialized network hardware that decides on the routing of internet.
Routers
is a process of selecting a path across one or more networks.
Network Routing
Is a networking device that connects computing devices and networks to other networks.
Routers
3 THINGS THAT ROUTERS CAN DO:
- Path Determination
- Data Forwarding
- Load Balancing
a router determines the path data takes when it moves from source to destination.
Path Determination
a router forwards data to the next devices on the selected path.
Data Forwarding
router may send copies of the same data packet by using multiple different paths.
Load Balancing
is the process of selecting the best path using some predetermine rules.
Routing
4 SIGNIFICANT TERMINOLOGIES:
- Data Packets
- Subnetting
- IP Address
- Gateway Address
unit of data made into a single packet that travels along a given network path.
Data Packets
a logical division of an IP Network.
Subnetting
is a numeric value assigned to a network device.
IP Address
router interface connected to the local network send packet out of the local network.
Gateway Address
is a device that forwards data from one network to another.
Default Gateway
Let’s device from one network communicate with other devices from another network.
