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)
