    SVLAN overview UHP-1000 routers make use of a special protocol to transmit information via the satellite. Requirements to such protocol are minimal overhead and a possibility to split and group data streams. With the UHP-1000 routers, this protocol is named SVLAN.
  • Page 39: Router Control Commands

    All records are provided with counters of packets that have been routed as per these records. This will make diagnostics easier. UHP-1000 router has no limitations on overlapping the addresses, incompliance of masks, etc. This makes it possible to obtain more capabilities from routers but these capabilities should be used with care.

    UHP routers support IGMP version 1-3, as well as static routing of multicast traffic. Static routing of multicast traffic is implemented in UHP-1000 routers as follows: To collect Multicast traffic from LAN to specified address you have to assign a map for this traffic on the modulator.
