This is not a software engineering question, so it's not a good fit for Stack Overflow. If you look at
Network Engineering Stack Exchange they do consider "Design or theory of protocols used to operate a network (IP, TCP, routing protocols, STP, etc.)" to be on topic, so it would probably be a better fit for your question. I'd recommend you start off by taking their
tour to check what they expect in a good question. —
