Computer networking is a system of interconnected computing devices that can share resources and exchange data. These devices use a set of rules called communications protocols to transmit information over physical or wireless technologies. IP routing is a method of sending data packets across multiple networks. It involves computing routes and transporting digital bits across an IP network. A socket is a communications connection point (endpoint) that you can name and address in a network. Socket programming shows how to use socket APIs to establish communication links between remote and local processes. Routing Information Protocol (RIP) version 2 (RIPv2) is an improved version of RIP. Both are distance vector routing protocols that use router hop counts as their metrics. RIPv1 is also known as the Classful Routing Protocol, while RIPv2 is known as the Classless Routing Protocol. Ports are virtual places within an operating system where network connections start and end. They help computers sort the network traffic they receive. Web caching is a system that stores data for reuse, such as a copy of a web page. It's a part of the core content delivery strategy implemented within the HTTP protocol. Forwarding: The process of moving packets from a router's input to the correct output link. Routers are responsible for forwarding packets. A router forwards a packet by examining its header field and using its value to index into the forwarding table. A node can use one of two methods to forward packets: store-and-forward or cut-through switching. Routing: The process of determining the route packets take from source to destination. Routing is usually performed by a networking device called a router. Routing establishes routing tables before packets are forwarded and in anticipation of packets. Routing provides IP addresses for devices on different networks to communicate with each other. Default routing is used when networks deal with a single exit point.
