The latest UniFi Network 9.4 update redefines large-scale network management with innovative tools, but is it right for ...

In a VPLS service, customers don’t peer routing protocols with the carrier, but directly between their own routers over the Layer-2 multi-access VPLS network.

This chapter describes the operation and limitations of distance vector and link-state routing protocols.

Network layer routing protocols provide the communication protocols and algorithms for determining routes to every destination and also for distributing the routing information throughout the network.

However, OSPF scales to larger networks, particularly WANs, better than EIGRP. Other Layer 3 routing protocols, such as Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and IS–IS, aren’t as widely available across ...

Data center routing is evolving. Some might even say, “finally!” the industry has been working too long with traditional routing protocols from the telecom and enterprise network environments. Now is ...
