As the name suggests, Port Scanning is a process used to find out active ports on the network. A Port Scanner sends client requests to the range of ports on the target network and then saves the details about the ports that send a response back. The problem with using any communication with UDP is that it is unreliable – VISIT it has no way of creating an established connection or synchronizing the packets like TCP does. This host discovery method looks for either responses using the
same protocol as a probe, or ICMP protocol unreachable messages which
signify that the given protocol isn’t supported by the destination
host. For most ports, the packet will be empty,
though for a few common ports like 53 and 161, a protocol-specific
payload will be sent that is more likely to get a
response. The
–data-length
option sends a fixed-length random payload for all ports.

• •If allow mode is disabled, and the router cannot establish a connection with an URL filter server, the router denies the request.
• Cisco Cloudlock is the API-based cloud access security broker (CASB) that helps accelerate use of the cloud.
• The ISA is a lightweight, versatile satellite terminal that offers numerous improvements over the current CSS VSAT.
• UDP stands for user datagram protocol and is part of the internet protocol suite that also includes TCP (transmission control protocol).

We conducted a series of scanning experiments using the four network scanning tools on the test dataset. Each scanner was configured with optimal parameters and settings, ensuring experiment consistency. The scans were performed in parallel, enabling a comparative analysis of scanning speed, coverage, and accuracy. The scanning process involved sending packets to the target hosts and capturing the responses for further research. We also evaluated resource utilization, such as CPU and memory usage, to determine the efficiency of the scanners. The results obtained from the experiments were analyzed to assess the performance of each network scanner.

Packets sometimes get dropped on the
Internet, so you can send two packets back-to-back. However, something that
drops one packet may drop the immediately following packet. We already have
a ‘rate’ variable, which is the number of packets-per-second rate we are
transmitting at, so the retransmit function is simply to use i + rate
as the index. One of these days I’m going to do a study of the Internet,
and differentiate “back-to-back”, “1 second”, “10 second”, and “1 minute”
retransmits this way in order to see if there is any difference in what
gets dropped.

Fiber-based transmission technology is able to deliver superior download speeds, as compared to fixed wireless. Firstly, a fiber-based gigabit passive optical network (GPON) can supply download speeds of nearly 2.5 gigabits per second (Gbps) and upload speeds of up to 1.2 Gbps. Secondly, a fiber-based 10-gigabit symmetrical passive optical network (XGS-PON) can provide download and upload speeds of up to 10 Gbps.
