From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]: | |
spoofing A technique used to reduce network overhead, especially in {wide area network}s (WAN). Some network {protocol}s send frequent packets for management purposes. These can be {routing} updates or {keep-alive} messages. In a {WAN} this can introduce significant overhead, due to the typically smaller {bandwidth} of WAN connections. Spoofing reduces the required bandwidth by having devices, such as {bridge}s or {router}s, answer for the remote devices. This fools (spoofs) the {LAN} device into thinking the remote LAN is still connected, even though it's not. The spoofing saves the WAN bandwidth, because no packet is ever sent out on the WAN. LAN {protocol}s today do not yet accommodate spoofing easily. ["Network Spoofing" by Jeffrey Fritz, BYTE, December 1994, pages 221 - 224]. (1995-01-13) | |
