End to end means being able to track things in a system. In the case of TCP communications, it's confirmation messages. For UDP, as it does not have confirmation messages, then being able to detect breaks in the communication path will enable an administrator to determine if messages are being delivered or not.

The kurose ross book says udp provides error detection is an example of end to end principle in system design. I want to further research humanly on this. Pls 🙏 guide

NAT is a tricky thing, though. Used one time with the Internet connection, it is manageable. If it is used a second time for masking internal traffic, then problems develop. Problems multiply if address spaces are re-used in different areas and NAT is employed to mask the IP address re-use. This last scenario is common in industrial environments.

In the K3S cluster, how many nodes are being used? If the number is over 64K, then we may want to instead go with IPv6 instead of IPv4 with NAT.

Something like this could prove beneficial. I prefer academically written textbooks.

That's a subject list that reads more like a history of the topic. For example, PGP was popular some time ago, but has since waned as major email providers have implemented encryption.

The biggest area to know is how public-key infrastructure (PKI) cryptography works, and how it is different from symmetric cryptography.

Network Security: Types of Computer Security, Types of Security Attacks, Principles of cryptography, RSA Algorithm, Digital Signatures, securing e-mail (PGP), Securing TCP connections (SSL), Network layer security (IPsec, VPN), Securing wireless LANs (WEP), Firewalls


This is the part of 20 subject syllabus for exam. It's subjective exam meaning answers are written instead of tick marks.


I am starting to learn this. What should I be learning in digital signatures? That benefit me in the long run as well as help me in exam? What about PGP? What practical scenarios can I implement on my own? Or is it left untouched because there're APIs that handle it for me these days? I'd love your insights on any of the topics.

DVR shares entire routing table to neighbours periodically.

For loops prevention, it uses just hop count metric.

It uses bellman ford algorithm for implementation.


LSR doesn't send entire routing table to others, just share the LSA(Link State Advertisement).

To prevent looping various metric along with hop count is used.

Djikstra's shortest path finding algorithm is used here.

Quote from: networkloser on December 25, 2024, 02:20:59 AMI read the networking explained book and it has covered this description neatly.

so can you provide a quick refresh, in your own words on how you think it works (without cut/paste) from reference material?  this will solidify your understanding of this complex material if you can "dumbify" it for us so we can understand your thought process.
