 Routing Basics

1.Router and it's functions

Router : a networking device that discovers network topologies and forwarding packets

Routing is like building maps and giving directions. It has to learn about the details of the potential destinations. So it collects information, which can be static, manual or dynamic. 

Router has two main functions

 -  Routing : Learn about the network through it's neighbours

 -  Forwarding : Packet is forwarded between routers until it reaches it's destination

2. Router Architecture

 -  IP routing table : a data table stored on a router mapping the surrounded network topology and routers.

 -  IP forwarding table : a data table on network switches that uses MAC addresses to map the proper interface to which packet should be forwarded.


3. Routing protocol Basics

 - Static routes

Routes are configured by administrators

There is a special route called default route. It is used to route packets that are not explicitly listed in the routing table. It is also known as the gateway to last resort

- Dynamic routes

Network technique that provides optimal data routing.

enables routers to select paths according to real time logical network layout changes.


i. Routing Protocols

Interior gateway or exterior gateway routing protocol

class or classless protocol

Distance vector, link state or path vector protocol

What is IGP

generally used to find the path information within a network, it is commonly used for ISP's infrastructure addresses, but not for customer prefixes.

    -    RIPv1 andRIPv2

    -    IGRP and EIGRP

    -    OSPF

    -    IS-IS

What is EGP

Used to exchange routing information between different autonomous systems. it is important for reachability on the internet.

    -    EGP, BGP

How to push a file into a docker container

-
Let's  see how to push a file into the container from the host.  We are assuming the test.html file is the file we are going to copy into the docker container.  web-application is container docker cp test.html web-application:/folderpath we can verify  after log in to the container. docker exec -it web-application bash And then check in the folder path and you will see the file there copied Sources : https://www.linkedin.com/events/kubernetes-freetechnicalworksho6807993779836985344/

Docker What, Docker? Opensource platform tool  Manages the containers Allow to build applications in a container with the libraries, binaried and dependencies run from anywhere Why Docker? portability light weight OS fast delivery(impact of light weight os) Multiple isolated OS Resource optimization Continous development and testing Architecture Docker Client Docker Host  Docker Hub(Registery) Also Docker images , Docker containers , Dcker Network and storages are contains in the architecture. Docker client is used to communicate with Docker hosts using Docker daemon is installed in Docker host. Clients are used to manage the Docker components and operations such as create, delete, pull, push, bulid, run etc. Docker client can connect to the Docker host remotly using REST API, UNIX sockets or using a network interface. Docker hub(Registery) is used to pull and push Docker images There are two types of docker hubs Docker Hub Online/Docker Hub

Project(on going) - IPv6 Fragmentation

-
An IP Datagram travels over different networks, each of which may have different MTU (Maximum Transmit Unit ) , which is the largest IP datagram that can be carried by a network. MTU - - maximum size of an unit which can be transmitted in a network and it depends on the network and media and how they be allowed to transmitted. also encapsulation....etc. It happens when the MTU values of hosts and routers are different from each other;         When we have two different type of network/media connected with router which have different MTU in such case router broke down packet to appropriate size regarding network/media type payload exceed the Maximum Transmission Unit in the interface. so the payload has to be chopped and put them into IP fragmented packets. they are:     -reassembled at destination     -each fragment is independent datagram        - could be routed in a different direction        - could be delivered out of order        - can be used to bypass IPS
