👉 XOSPFL is a software, firmware or hardware device that connects two routers together to exchange and forward data packets. The XOSPFL protocol defines how a router forwards traffic to other devices connected on the network. The XOSPFL process involves multiple steps: 1. Network Link Discovery: A network link is discovered between the routers by sending out a query packet with the network ID (NID) of each router as its payload. 2. ARP Scan and Forwarding: After finding a suitable route to a target device, an ARP scan is performed using this information to determine which devices are currently connected on the network and their IP addresses. The XOSPFL protocol then forwards data packets from one target device to another. 3. Forwarding of Packet Streams: Once packet streams are found to be available for transmission on the network, the packets are forwarded as needed between the routers using the XOSPFL protocol. 4. Network Link Disconnection: When a packet stream is no longer required, the connection with this router is disconnected and the packet is discarded. The XOSPFL protocol is used in a variety of applications including Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, mobile networks, and data center networks. Its goal is to improve network performance and scalability by minimizing latency and avoiding network congestion.
