BACKGROUND
TCP/IP stands for “Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol”.It is basically a network protocol that defines the details of how data is sent and received through network adapters, hubs, switches, routers and other network communications hardware.The Internet works by using a protocol called TCP/IP, or Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. TCP/IP is the underlying communication language of the Internet. In base terms, TCP/IP allows one computer to talk to another computer via the Internet through compiling packets of data and sending them to right location.
The router is a fundamental building block of modern business networks, providing traffic with a gateway to both the Internet and other networks. Routers make flexible cross-network communication possible, and allow larger networks to remain operational even during redesigns or outages. They can also play important secondary roles on a network, with many combined with other devices such as firewalls, modems and switches to product versatile all-in-one networking solutions.
After reading , viewing and reviewing assigned materials, and conducting your own research as needed, discuss the following topic with your peers:
A new intern is confused about the CIDR notation for subnets, such as 10.92.168.11/26 and their overall purpose in enterprise networking. How would you explain to him the benefits of using CIDR in enterprise network addressing strategies and what some of the challenges involved in the implementation of CIDR are?
