A method ofcommunications where a set of packets are sent to the first or closest computerwithin a set of computers.

Back 1

anycast address

Front 2

Short for Automatic Private IP Address, it is aprivate range of addresses automatically assigned by a host that cannot connectto a DHCP server.

Back 2

APIPA

Front 3

An address that send messages to all hosts within anetwork.

Back 3

broadcast address

Front 4

A IPv4classification system that uses classes to define characteristics of theassigned network.

Back 4

classful network architecture

Front 5

A way ofallocating IP addresses and routing Internet Protocol packets. It was intendedto replace the prior classful IP addressing architecture in an attempt to slowthe exhaustion of IPv4 addresses.

Back 5

classless inter-domain routing (CIDR)

Front 6

The first IPaddress of the device that a client computer will look for when attempting togain access outside the local network.

Back 6

default gateway

Front 7

The addressof a DNS server, which is used to resolve host names to IP addresses.

Back 7

DNS server address

Front 8

The term used to describe when two Internet ProtocolSoftware implementations in an operating system run, such as IPv4 and IPv6.

Back 8

dual IP stack

Front 9

An IP address that is automatically assigned to a hostby a DHCP server.

Back 9

dynamic IP address

Front 10

The first three groups of numbers used in an IPv6address.

Back 10

global routing prefix

Front 11

The individual host IP portion of an IPv6 address.

Back 11

interface ID

Front 12

A conflictthat occurs when two hosts are assigned the same address on a network.

Back 12

IP conflict

Front 13

The most frequently used communications protocol.

Back 13

IPv4

Front 14

An IPv6 address where the first 80 bits are set to 0 and the last 32 bits contain an IPv4 address.

Back 14

IPv4-mapped addresses

Front 15

An updated IP protocol that increases the addressspace and adds additional functionality compared to IPv4.

Back 15

IPv6

Front 16

An individual subnet of the network that the address is located on.

Back 16

IPv6 subnet

Front 17

A method where IPv6 packets are encapsulated inside IPv4 packets.

Back 17

IPv6 tunneling

Front 18

A address that is assigned to a host by the administrator.

Back 18

logical IP address

Front 19

A address used for testing of the host itself.

Back 19

loopback IP address

Front 20

A mechanism used to isolate binary digit 1.

Back 20

masked

Front 21

A type of communications where a single set of packets is sent to a single computer.

Back 21

multicast address

Front 22

One set of packets sent to multiple computers.

Back 22

multicasting

Front 23

The process of modifying an IP address while it is in transit across a router, computer, or similar device. A NAT implementation on a firewall hides an entire private network of IP addresses (for example, the 192.168.50.0 network) behind a single publicly displayed IP address.

A method that abbreviates an IPv6 address by removing unnecessary and/or leading 0s.

Back 30

Truncated

Front 31

A communication method that sends a set of packets to a single host.

Back 31

unicast address

Front 32

A mechanism used to isolate binary digits 0.
