MMR provides live, recorded, and on demand programming for PCs, mobile
phones and TV. All MMR client devices in the home must be able to discover
each other and communicate freely with each other. For this reason, all client
devices must be locally bridged with IP Addresses in the same subnet. For
security reasons, client devices in one customer's home must not be able to
discover MMR client devices in other customers' homes. As a result, NAT
Routing is required to provide firewall security.
