Trivial File Transfer Protocol is a simple lockstep File Transfer Protocol that allows a client to get or put a file onto a remote host.
Internet Protocol Security is a protocol suite for securing Internet Protocol communications by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet in a data stream.
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol is a method for implementing virtual private networks. It enables the secure transfer of data from a remote client to a private enterprise server.
Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol is a tunneling protocol used to support virtual private networks. It provides a secure method for transmitting data between two endpoints.
Border Gateway Protocol is a standardized exterior gateway protocol designed to exchange routing and reachability information among autonomous systems on the internet.
Open Shortest Path First is a routing protocol used for internet protocol networks. It calculates the shortest path for data packets based on network topology.
Routing Information Protocol is one of the oldest distance-vector routing protocols. It uses hop count as a routing metric to determine the best path for data packets.
Internet Group Management Protocol is a communications protocol used by hosts and adjacent routers on an Internet Protocol network to establish multicast group memberships.
Interior Gateway Routing Protocol is a distance-vector routing protocol used by routers to exchange routing data within an autonomous system.
Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol is a Cisco proprietary routing protocol that combines features of both distance-vector and link-state routing protocols.
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol is a computer networking protocol that provides automatic assignment of available Internet Protocol routers to participating hosts.
Hot Standby Router Protocol is a Cisco proprietary redundancy protocol that allows multiple routers to work together to provide a high-availability network.
Gateway Load Balancing Protocol is a Cisco proprietary protocol that allows multiple routers to share the same IP address and provide redundancy and load balancing.
Spanning Tree Protocol is a network protocol that ensures a loop-free topology for any bridged Ethernet local area network.
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol is an evolution of the Spanning Tree Protocol that provides faster convergence and better network stability.
Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol is an extension of the Spanning Tree Protocol that allows multiple spanning trees to be created on a network.
Virtual Local Area Network is a logical grouping of devices in a computer network that behave as if they are on the same LAN, regardless of their physical location.
