requesting and sending RIPs (routing information packets)
to detect any change in resource status-- servers, routers
and other peripheral devices. Spoofing is a means of
filtering the chatter (RIPs) so that when no important data
is present the line can be dropped as defined by the
Disconnect time-out setting.

thinking the line is still up and that the Internet
resources are still available. Without spoofing, the line
would remain up indefinitely and huge line fees would be
incurred.
Dial On Demand
Dial On Demand is an intelligent feature that monitors the
