Internet Switching and Routing Protocols

Catalog description

Protocol standards developed by the IEEE 802.1 committee for Layer 2 Bridging (Switching) in Local Area Networks (LANs), Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs), and Data Center (DC) networks, providing enhanced services such as expedited traffic capabilities, dynamic use of multicast addresses, virtual LANs (VLANs), carrier-grade Metro-Ethernet, congestion control in data center networks (DC-TCP), and Time Sensitive Networking (TSN). Protocol standards developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) for Layer 3 addressing and routing in the Internet: IPv4 addressing and Network Address Translation (NAT), Interior Gateway Protocols (RIP and OSPF), Exterior Gateway Protocol (BGP-4), Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS), Multicast Routing, Mobile IP (MIP), and routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET) with application in Wi-Fi Mesh Networks standardized by IEEE 802.11.
