Return Link
Return Link is the communication path carrying traffic from the user or remote side back toward the network or ground side.
Protocol
RIP
RIP is a distance-vector routing protocol that shares routing information with neighboring routers. It uses hop count as its main metric and is common in legacy networks.
Protocol
RIP-NG
RIP-NG is the IPv6 version of RIP, using distance-vector routing behavior to exchange routes in IPv6 networks. It is suited to smaller or legacy deployments.
Protocol
Round Trip Time
Round Trip Time is the total time required for a signal or packet to travel from a source to a destination and back. It measures end-to-end bidirectional delay.
Protocol
Route Convergence
Route Convergence is the process by which routers in a network reach a consistent view of reachable paths after a topology change.
Protocol
Route Poisoning
Route Poisoning is a routing technique that advertises a failed route with an invalid metric so routers treat it as unreachable. It helps prevent loops and speed convergence.
Protocol
Route Redistribution
Route Redistribution is the process of transferring routes between routing domains or protocols so reachability information can be shared. It is controlled by policy and filtering rules.
Protocol
Route Reflection
Route Reflection is a BGP technique that allows one router to advertise routes to other routers within the same routing domain, reducing the need for full-mesh peering among internal BGP…
Protocol
Route Summarization
Route Summarization is the aggregation of multiple specific routes into a broader prefix that represents the same destination space at a higher level, reducing routing table size and protocol overhead.
Operations
Routing Table
Routing Table is the stored set of destination prefixes, next hops, and related forwarding information used by a router or host. It drives forwarding decisions.
