Smooth, Responsive Net Connection
Quality of Service (QoS) gives user full control over outgoing data traffic. Priority can be assigned
by the router to ensure that important transmissions like gaming packets, or IPTV/streaming content
passes through the router at lightning speed, even when there is heavy Internet traffic. The speed
of different types of outgoing data passing through the router is also controlled to ensure that users
do not saturate bandwidth with their browsing activities.
IPv6 supported
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a version of the Internet Protocol that is designed to succeed
IPv4. IPv6 has a vastly larger address space than IPv4. This results from the use of a 128-bit
128
address, whereas IPv4 uses only 32 bits. The new address space thus supports 2 (about
38
3.4×10 ) addresses. This expansion provides flexibility in allocating addresses and routing traffic
and eliminates the primary need for network address translation (NAT), which gained widespread
deployment as an effort to alleviate IPv4 address exhaustion.
The BiPAC 7820NZ fully supports IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6), launched as the current IPv4
range is filling up, and IPv6 is gradually becoming the indispensable addressing system for savvy
cloud computing users. Dual stack means the router is capable of running IPv4 and IPv6 in parallel
during the transition period. With Billion IPv6 enabled devices, three major transition mechanisms
such as Dual-Stack, Dual-Stack Lite, and 6RD (IPv6 rapid deployment) are supported to be
adapted easily into service provider's IPv4/IPv6 network
Virtual AP
A "Virtual Access Point" is a logical entity that exists within a physical Access Point (AP). When a
single physical AP supports multiple "Virtual APs", each Virtual AP appears to stations (STAs) to be
an independent physical AP, even though only a single physical AP is present. For example,
multiple Virtual APs might exist within a single physical AP, each advertising a distinct SSID and
capability set. Alternatively, multiple Virtual APs might advertise the same SSID but a different
capability set – allowing access to be provided via Web Portal, WEP, and WPA simultaneously.
Where APs are shared by multiple providers, Virtual APs provide each provider with separate
authentication and accounting data for their users, as well as diagnostic information, without
sharing sensitive management traffic or data between providers. You can enable the virtual AP.
