Bogon filtering

Bogon filtering is the practice of filtering bogons, which are bogus (fake) IP addresses of a computer network.

Domain name

A domain name is an identification string that defines a realm of administrative autonomy, authority or control within the Internet.

Domain Name System

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical decentralized naming system for computers, services, or other resources connected to the Internet or a private network.

Hostname

In computer networking, a hostname (archaically nodename) is a label that is assigned to a device connected to a computer network and that is used to identify the device in various forms of electronic communication, such as the World Wide Web.

Hosts (file)

The computer file hosts is an operating system file that maps hostnames to IP addresses.

Internet protocol suite

The Internet protocol suite is the conceptual model and set of communications protocols used on the Internet and similar computer networks.

Internet Standard

In computer network engineering, an Internet Standard is a normative specification of a technology or methodology applicable to the Internet.

IP address

An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication.

IPv4

Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) is the fourth version of the Internet Protocol (IP).

IPv6

Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the most recent version of the Internet Protocol (IP), the communications protocol that provides an identification and location system for computers on networks and routes traffic across the Internet.

Loopback

Loopback, or loop-back, refers to the routing of electronic signals, digital data streams, or flows of items back to their source without intentional processing or modification.

Martian packet

A Martian packet is an IP packet seen on the public internet that contains a source or destination address that is reserved for special-use by Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).

Multiprotocol Label Switching

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a type of data-carrying technique for high-performance telecommunications networks. MPLS directs data from one network node to the next based on short path labels rather than long network addresses, avoiding complex lookups in a routing table.

MySQL

MySQL ("My S-Q-L") is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS).

Network interface controller

A network interface controller (NIC, also known as a network interface card, network adapter, LAN adapter or physical network interface, and by similar terms) is a computer hardware component that connects a computer to a computer network.

Private network

In the Internet addressing architecture, a private network is a network that uses private IP address space.

New!!: Localhost and Private network · See more »

Reserved IP addresses

In the Internet addressing architecture, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) have reserved various Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for special purposes.

Subnetwork

A subnetwork or subnet is a logical subdivision of an IP network.

Top-level domain

A top-level domain (TLD) is one of the domains at the highest level in the hierarchical Domain Name System of the Internet.

Unix domain socket

A Unix domain socket or IPC socket (inter-process communication socket) is a data communications endpoint for exchanging data between processes executing on the same host operating system.

URL

A Uniform Resource Locator (URL), colloquially termed a web address, is a reference to a web resource that specifies its location on a computer network and a mechanism for retrieving it.

Website

A website is a collection of related web pages, including multimedia content, typically identified with a common domain name, and published on at least one web server.

New!!: Localhost and Website · See more »

.localhost

The name localhost is reserved by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in (June 1999) as a domain name label that may not be installed as a top-level domain in the Domain Name System (DNS) of the Internet.
