MPLS

 

MPLS Is A Networking Technology That Uses Labels To Identify Paths, Rather Than Network Addresses.

MPLS Can Improve Performance, Scalability, Security, And Reliability Of Networks.

MPLS Is Used In A Variety Of Applications, Including Enterprise Networks, Carrier Networks, And The Internet Backbone.

Here Are Some Of The Key Benefits Of MPLS:

Improved Performance

MPLS Can Reduce The Amount Of Processing Required To Route Packets, Which Can Improve Performance.

Increased Scalability

MPLS Can Be Easily Scaled To Support A Large Number Of Devices.

Enhanced Security

MPLS Can Be Used To Create Secure Vpns.

Improved Reliability

MPLS Can Provide Better Reliability By Providing Multiple Paths For Data Traffic.


PROCESS OF MPLS WORK










MPLS DOESN'T NOT EXCHANGE LABELS AUTOMATICALLY.

LDP IS A PROTOCOL THAT AUTOMATICALLY GENERATES AND EXCHANGES LABELS BETWEEN ROUTERS.

EACH ROUTER WILL LOCALLY GENERATE LABELS FOR ITS PREFIXES AND WILL THEN ADVERTISE THE LABEL VALUES TO ITS NEIGHBORS.

IT'S A STANDARD, BASED ON CISCO'S PROPRIETARY TDP (TAG DISTRIBUTION PROTOCOL).

LIKE MANY OTHER PROTOCOLS,

LDP FIRST ESTABLISHES A NEIGHBOR ADJACENCY BEFORE IT EXCHANGES LABEL INFORMATION. IT WORKS A BIT DIFFERENT THAN MOST PROTOCOLS THOUGH...

FIRST WE SEND UDP MULTICAST HELLO PACKETS TO DISCOVER OTHER NEIGHBORS. ONCE TWO ROUTERS DECIDE TO BECOME NEIGHBORS, THEY BUILD THE NEIGHBOR ADJACENCY USING A TCP CONNECTION.

BRIDGE MODE AND NAT MODE AP

  BOTH BRIDGE MODE AND NAT MODE ARE WAYS TO CONFIGURE AN ACCESS POINT (AP) TO EXTEND A NETWORK, BUT THEY DIFFER IN HOW THEY HANDLE IP ADDRESSES AND NETWORK TRAFFIC: BRIDGE MODE: CONCEPT: ACTS AS A TRANSPARENT BRIDGE, SIMPLY RELAYING DATA BETWEEN WIRED AND WIRELESS DEVICES. IP ADDRESS: DEVICES OBTAIN THEIR IP ADDRESSES FROM AN UPSTREAM DHCP SERVER, TYPICALLY THE MAIN ROUTER ON THE NETWORK. NETWORK TRAFFIC: ALL DEVICES, BOTH WIRED AND WIRELESS, ARE SEEN AS PART OF THE SAME NETWORK AND CAN DIRECTLY COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER. BENEFITS: SEAMLESS ROAMING: DEVICES CAN EFFORTLESSLY SWITCH BETWEEN APS WITHOUT LOSING THEIR IP ADDRESS OR CONNECTION. SIMPLIFIED NETWORK MANAGEMENT: ALL DEVICES ARE ON THE SAME SUBNET, MAKING CONFIGURATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING EASIER. INCREASED COMPATIBILITY: WORKS WITH DEVICES THAT DON'T SUPPORT NAT TRAVERSAL (E.G., SOME VPN CLIENTS). DRAWBACKS: LESS SECURITY : ALL DEVICES ARE DIRECTLY EXPOSED TO EACH OTHER, POTENTIALLY INCREAS

DOS AND DDOS ATTACK

A Dos (Denial-Of-Service) Attack and A DDOS (Distributed Denial-Of-Service) Attack Are Both Attempts to Make a Computer System or Network Resource Unavailable to Legitimate Users. However, They Differ in How They Achieve This: Dos Attack: Imagine A Single Person Throwing Rocks at A Castle Gate. A This Person Represents the Attacker, And the Rocks Represent the Malicious Traffic. The Castle Gate Represents the Target System or Network Resource. The Attacker Keeps Throwing Rocks, Trying to Overwhelm the Gate's Defenses and Gain Entry. Dos Attacks Are Typically Launched from A Single System. They Can Be Effective Against Small Systems or Networks, But Larger Systems Can Often Withstand Them. DDos Attack: Imagine An Army Throwing Rocks at A Castle Gate. This Army Represents the Attacker, And the Rocks Represent the Malicious Traffic. The Castle Gate Represents the Target System or Network Resource. The Attackers Coordinate Their Attack, Throwing Rocks from Multiple Directions at Once.

VSC (Virtual Cluster Switching)

  VIRTUAL CLUSTER SWITCHING (VCS): THIS IS A PROPRIETARY NETWORK FABRIC TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPED BY BROCADE, LATER ACQUIRED BY EXTREME NETWORKS. IT ALLOWS MULTIPLE PHYSICAL SWITCHES TO BE COMBINED AND MANAGED AS A SINGLE LOGICAL UNIT, OFFERING SEVERAL BENEFITS: SIMPLIFIED MANAGEMENT: MANAGE THE ENTIRE VCS AS ONE ENTITY, REDUCING CONFIGURATION OVERHEAD AND TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLEXITY. INCREASED PORT DENSITY: COMBINE PORTS FROM MULTIPLE SWITCHES TO CREATE A LARGER POOL OF AVAILABLE CONNECTIONS. IMPROVED PERFORMANCE:   ENHANCE LINK UTILIZATION AND LOAD BALANCING ACROSS MULTIPLE PHYSICAL LINKS, REDUCING BOTTLENECKS. ENHANCED REDUNDANCY:   PROVIDES FAILOVER PROTECTION IN CASE OF A SWITCH FAILURE. TRAFFIC WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY REROUTED TO OTHER SWITCHES WITHIN THE VCS. SIMPLIFIED NETWORK TOPOLOGY: ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR COMPLEX LINK AGGREGATION OR SPANNING TREE PROTOCOL (STP) CONFIGURATIONS. _________ VCS, OR VIRTUAL CLUSTER SWITCHING, CAN OPERATE IN DIFFERENT MODES DEPENDI
