...Default gateway From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In computer networking, a gateway is a node (a router) on a TCP/IP network that serves as an access point to another network. A default gateway is the node on the computer network that the network software uses when an IP address does not match any other routes in the routing table. In home computing configurations, an ISP often provides a physical device which both connects local hardware to the Internet and serves as a gateway. Such devices include DSL modems and cable modems. In organizational systems a gateway is a node that routes the traffic from a workstation to another network segment. The default gateway commonly connects the internal networks and the outside network (Internet). In such a situation, the gateway node could also act as a proxy server and a firewall. The gateway is also associated with both a router, which uses headers and forwarding tables to determine where packets are sent, and a switch, which provides the actual path for the packet in and out of the gateway. In other words, a default gateway provides an entry point and an exit point in a network.

...Impact of MAC Layer on the Performance of ODMRP, Fisheye, AODV and DSR, Routing Protocols in Mobile Ad hoc Networks A. Sravani, G. Srinu, and A.Venkataramana Abstract— Mobile Ad hoc Network is an emerging area. Its standards are defined by IETF. MANET is a self generated, self organized and self handled network consisting of collection of independent nodes. MANETs Presents several desirable properties like dynamic topology, Easy of deployment and robustness, which are qualify them as an attractive topic for the research community. Providing QoS routing is a major issue in MANETs. Media Access Control layer plays crucial role in Ad hoc networks. Several routing protocols have already been proposed for MANETs. This paper describes the impact of MAC layer protocols like 802.11 and CSMA on the various routing protocols like AODV, DSR, ODMRP and Fisheye. Numbers of simulation scenarios were carried out by using Glomosim-2.03. The QoS parameters used are Throughput, Delay and PDR. Simulation results found that AODV performs better in 802.11 and CSMA, DSR and ODMRP performs better in only under 802.11. Keywords— MANET, AODV, DSR, FSR, GloMoSim, ODMRP I. INTRODUCTION Wireless communication networks are basically two types as shown in Fig.1. One is infrastructure based and other one is infrastructure less.

...By: Dick Gilbert Routers A router is a network layer device responsible for routing traffic between subnetwork that make up a data internetwork . A subnetwork is defined as a collection of network resources that can be reached without needing to go through a router. A internetwork a collection of two or more subnetworks connected using routers. The role of a router is pretty simple. It receives packets transmitted by end stations and routes them through the internetwork to the right subnetwork. Routers can also perform more advanced functions if the network layer protocol supports those functions. Most of them have the ability to fragment packets. Routers also provide some congestion control capablilties .Routers can be fairly sophisticated packet filters. Some people sometimes mistake routing for bridging. Routing is also a network layer function. Routers operate on packets and choices based on the network layer address. Bridging is a data link layer function. Bridges operate on frames and make filtering and forwarding choices based on the media access control address. Packets ride within frames and are the transmission unit used to get a message from one end station to another anywhere in the internetwork. If two end stations are in the same subnetwork , the packet will be placed in a frame by the transmitter and sent across the subnetwork to the...

...Fall 2006, Syracuse University Lecture Notes for CIS/CSE 758: Internet Security Routing Protocols (1) Introduction Static routing versus dynamic routing Static routing Fixes routes at boot time Useful only for simplest cases Dynamic routing Table initialized at boot time Values inserted/updated by protocols that propagate route information Necessary in large internets Routing with partial information The routing table in a given router contains partial information about possible destinations For the unknown destinations, forward them to the default router. Potential problem: some destinations might be unreachable. Original Internet and the problem if the core routers are allowed to have default routes. Core routing architecture with single backbone. Assumes a centralized set of routers that know all possible destinations in an internet. Non-core routers use the core routers as their default routers. Work best for internets that have a single, centrally managed backbone. Inappropriate for multiple backbones. Disadvantage Central bottleneck for all traffic Not every site could have a core router connected to the backbone: how do they get routing information? No shortcut route possible: non-core routers always forward their traffic to the default routers even though another core router provides a better route. This is because the noncore routers do not know which one is better without full knowledge of all possible destinations...

...Course Project Author Note This assignment is being submitted on September 5, 2013, for N235/CET2629 Section 02 Cisco Networking Fundamentals and Routing course. Course Project Assuming that the router (R1) connecting the NOC to the outside world is configured with an IP address of 154.78.0.1 is directly linked to router (R2) with IP address 154.78.0.244 complete the following: Explain the steps required to configure router R1 and R2 to use Frame relay your explanation should include the commands used. Frame relay is fairly simple to configure. Remember that by default, Cisco uses High-level Data Link Control (HDLC) as a serial link encapsulation. This is a proprietary encapsulation and can only be used if you’re connecting two Cisco routers with a point-to-point link. Frame relay allows you to connect multiple vendors’ routers because of the frame relay standards created. The configuration of each router is very simple and looks something like this: R1 Router>enable Router#config t Router(config)#hostname R1 R1(config)# interface serial 0 R1(config-if)#ip address 154.78.0.1 255.255.0.0 R1(config-if)#no shutdown R1(config-if)#exit R1(config)#exit R1# R2 Router>enable Router#config t Router(config)#hostname R2 R2(config)#interface serial 0 R2(config-if)#ip address 154.78.0.244/255.255.0.0 R2(config-if)#no shutdown R2(config-if)#exit R2(config)#exit R2# The two routers can now communicate point to point.

...Semester Two Journal and Study Guide CISCO SYSTEMS NETWORKING Academy CCNA 2 Chapter 1 WANs and Routers One major characteristic of a wide-area network (WAN) is that the network operates beyond the local LAN's geographic scope. It uses the services of carriers, such as regional Bell operating companies (RBOCs), Sprint, and MCI. WANs use serial connections of various types to access bandwidth over wide-area geographies. By definition, the WAN connects devices that are separated by wide areas. WAN devices include the following: • • • • • • Routers, which offer many services, including internetworking and WAN interface ports Switches, which connect to WAN bandwidth for voice, data, and video communication Modems, which interface voice-grade services and channel service units/digital service units Channel service units/data service units (CSUs/DSUs) that interface T1/E1 services and Terminal Adapters/Network Termination 1 (TA/NT1s) TA/NT1s that interface Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) services Communication servers, which concentrate on dial-in and dial-out user communication Concept Questions 1.

... The default gateway often connects a local network to the Internet, although internal gateways for local networks also exist. In simple words the Gateway (normally associated with a router ) is an entry and an exit point for network traffic. A depiction below shows a SOHO and how the wireless router acts as a gateway for all the devices connected. In big enterprises, the device playing the part of a gateway could also act as a proxy server and a firewall. In most cases the gateway is a router, which use headers and forwarding tables to determine where packets are sent. Configuring the Router as a Gateway Login to the router’s web interface (refer to router guide) , and click on the “Setup Tab” and proceed to the “Advanced Routing option” Use the instructions as given below : If the Router is directly connected to the DSL/Cable modem, select the default option of Gateway. In this example , we will attempt to configure the router as a gateway . Our assumption would be that the customer only has one wireless router connecting to the Cable/DSL modem. Click on Save Settings and verify that the devices connected to the router’s LAN interfaces can access the internet (as depicted below). 1 2 References References Wikipedia June 25 2011, http://www.wikipedia.org Compnetworking June 26 2011 , http://compnetworking.about.com Webopedia June 26 2011, http://www.webopedia.com Cisco-Linksys June 26 2011,...

...that carries an active route to 19. In this manner, there is hop count of 2. Multi hop routing includes sending the information through multiple stops rather than sending it using a one long pathway. 2.3. Routing Protocols Bearing the fact that it is imperative for a packet to hop multiple times to reach the final destination, a routing protocol is used. The routing protocol has two major purposes : • selection of routes for various source-destination pairs and • delivery of messages to the correct destination The second purpose is in abstract direct and utilises a variety of data structures called routing tables. This project deals with finding and selecting routes and delivering the packets to the intended destination. 2.3.1. Path Cost Hop count is the developed metric that is used to calculate the best path between the source and the destination. However, another entity called the cost, can be used to determine the lowest distance path between source and the destination. Most routing protocols rely on shortest path or least cost routing, however a single...
