Internet Protocol (IP) Page
Index
The Internet is a global communications network that relies on packet
switching. Internet Protocol (IP)
is the protocol running Internet and many other computer networks
like corporate LANs and intranets.
It is the mostly widely used computer interconnection protocol.
Internet adppressing is based on the IP.

On-line security tests
- Onion Routing Snoops - The "Snoop!" page takes advantage of a number of possible security flaws in modern WWW browsers. It attempts to track down who you are via Java, Javascript, and a number of other transport schemes.
- Shields Up - Windows networking technology which connects your computer to the Internet may be offering some or all of your computer's data to the entire world at this very moment, information and some security tests
Other security tests
- PatchWork Tool - Program to check if Windows NT system is vulnerable to the attack and whether it has the files that indicate it has already been compromised. PatchWork checks for the vulnerabilities listed by the FBI, and if any are found, points you directly to the Microsoft patches.
Firewall software
Secure Shell
Secure Shell is the replacement for rsh, rlogin, rcp, telnet, rexec, rcp and ftp. It encrypts all traffic, and provides various levels of
authentication depending on your needs. Main features of Secure Shell include secure remote logins, file copying, and tunneling
TCP and X11 traffic.
- IP Network Index - An index relating IP network numbers to network names and identities, for class A, B and C networks
- Ketäon - extended whois search in Finnish
- VisualRoute - visual and integrated ping, whois, and traceroute program that automatically analyzes connectivity problems, displaying the results on a World map, commercial program, free demo available
- Whois Queries - check whic organization has which IP address from RIPE database, works for European hosts
- Finnish Commercial Internet Exchange (FICIX) statistics - FICIX interconnects the IP network in Finland and provides some detailed traffic statistics
- The Internet Traffic Archive - a moderated repository to support widespread access to traces of Internet network traffic, the traces can be used to study network dynamics, usage characteristics, and growth patterns, as well as providing the grist for trace-driven simulations
- Trends in Wide Area IP Traffic Patterns - report results from a longitudinal analysis of the IP traffic workload seen at a single measurement site inside a major Internet traffic exchange point
Routing is the technique by which data finds its way from one host computer
to another.

General information
- Internet Protocol - good introduction to IP itself
- Protocol Numbers - In the Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) [RFC791] there is a field, called "Protocol", to identify the next level protocol. This is an 8 bit field. In Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) [RFC1883] this field is called the "Next Header" field. IANA has standardized the use of this field.
IP over Ethernet
- Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) - In an Ethernet or Token Ring network, any station wishing to communicate with another station must know the DLC address of the Network Interface Card that will next receive the data frames. This presents a unique problem to higher layer protocol stacks because they must find some means of relating their Network Layer Addresses to the actual DLC address of the destination NIC. This essay discusses the purpose and functionality of TCP/IP's answer to this problem, Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
- PPPoE - a protocol to provide PPP connections over Ethernet networks

Other protocols
It is expected that IP-based networks will carry 15% of the worlds voice traffic by 2002.
Driving the convergence of traditionally separate voice and data networks, VoIP promises to deliver many features including cost savings and applications such as videoconferencing and global, toll-free calling.
