Computer Networking
Why does the data communication industry use the layered OSI reference model?1. It divides the network communication process into smaller and simpler components, thus aiding component development, design, and troubleshooting.2. It enables equipment from different vendors to use the same electronic components, thus saving research and development funds.3. It supports the evolution of multiple competing standards and thus provides business opportunities for equipment manufacturers.4. It encourages industry standardization by defining what functions occur at each layer of the model.
This address identifies multiple interfaces and the anycast packet is only delivered to one address. This address can also be called one-to-one-of-many.
Packets addressed to a unicast address are delivered to a single interface.
These addresses are meant for nonrouting purposes, but they are almost globally unique so it is unlikely they will have an address overlap.
Packets are delivered to all interfaces identified by the address. This is also called one-to-many addresses.
