Forwarding packets based on their prefix length and destination, ignoring the major network in which they reside.
Grouping or summarization of major networks. Given that 200.200.200.0/24 is a Class C address, 200.200.0.0/16 is a CIDR block. The address 10.1.0.0/16 is not a CIDR block; it is a subnet of the 10.x.x.x network. With a CIDR block, the prefix is shortened from the "natural" mask for that network; with subnetting, the prefix is lengthened.
A routed (data carrying) protocol; routing information for CLNS is provided by IS-IS.
A single router (or switch) acting as the core of a network.
Services internal to an organization that are used by all or most of the end users of the network.
The capability of a routing protocol to advertise a given destination under only certain conditions, such as the existence of another path to that destination.
A group of BGP autonomous systems that appear as one AS outside of the confederation.
A device that assigns labels in an MPLS network.
Assigning labels based on control traffic, such as routing updates.
The process of all the routers in a network determining the best path to reach the destinations available; when the network has converged, all the routers in the network have decided on the best path to each destination.
The area of the network that concentrates on switching traffic.
