Which of following makes sure that each request is forwarded to its intended recipient?

1 answer

To ensure that each request is forwarded to its intended recipient, you would typically utilize a combination of networking protocols and devices. However, the specific technology or method can vary based on the context. Common options include:

  1. Routing Protocols: These protocols (like OSPF, BGP, RIP) ensure data packets are forwarded across networks to reach the correct destination.

  2. Load Balancers: In web applications, load balancers can direct requests to specific servers based on defined rules, ensuring that each request is sent to the intended recipient server.

  3. Application Layer Protocols: Protocols such as HTTP/HTTPS can encapsulate the request information, including the intended recipient (e.g., a web server), and ensure the request reaches that service.

  4. Message Brokers: In messaging systems, brokers can guarantee that messages are sent to the correct queue or topic, ensuring that the intended recipients (subscribers) receive them.

  5. DNS (Domain Name System): DNS translates domain names to IP addresses, ensuring that requests to a specific domain are directed to the correct server.
