Understanding the Layer 3 Protocols in NetVisor OS
Layer 3 is the Network layer protocol that behaves as a transmission medium from the source to the destination by performing the routing and addressing aspects of a packet and ensuring data integrity without having any packet loss.
NetVisor OS supports the following Layer 3 or Network protocols and functionalities:
- Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
- OSPFv3
- Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
- MP-BGP
- RIP
- VRRP for IPv4 and IPv6
- Dual-stack support (IPv4/IPv6)
- Equal-cost multi-path routing (ECMP)
- Policy Based Routing (PBR)
- Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) (IPv4 and IPv6), OSPF, BGP and static routes
- Static routes
- Loopback interface
- DHCP relay
- Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD)
