Dynamic Routing - NetComm NB4 User Manual

Dynamic Routing

Dynamic Routing makes use of the RIP Protocol to allow the ADSL Router to automatically
adjust to physical changes in the network. The NB4, using the RIP protocol, will determine the
network packet route based on the fewest number of hops between the Source and the
Destination. The RIP protocol regularly broadcasts routing information to other Routers on the
network and is part of the IP Suite.
