Multicast routing is a network communication method that allows data packets to be sent from one source to multiple recipients in a single transmission. This is in contrast to unicast, where data is sent from one source to one destination, or broadcast, where data is sent from one source to all possible destinations. Multicast routing […]
Anycast routing is a network addressing and routing method that directs data packets to the nearest or best-performing of multiple possible destinations, all of which share the same IP address. This technique is used for load balancing, high availability, and improved performance in various network services. Anycast routing is commonly used in content delivery networks […]
Constrained-Based Routing (CBR) is a routing approach used in computer networks, particularly in the context of network optimization, where routing decisions are based on specific constraints and requirements, rather than solely on traditional routing metrics like hop count or link bandwidth. CBR considers various factors and constraints, such as Quality of Service (QoS), resource availability, […]
Hierarchical routing is a network design approach that divides a large, complex network into smaller, more manageable segments or domains, each with its own set of routing rules and organization. This division into hierarchical levels can significantly improve the scalability, efficiency, and manageability of a network. Hierarchical routing is commonly used in large enterprise networks […]
