Page 58: Multicast
Technical Reference Multicast Multicasting is a form of limited broadcast. UDP is used to send datagrams to all hosts that belong to what is called a "host group." A host group is a set of one or more hosts identified by the same destination IP address. - Page 59 IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a session-layer (layer-3) protocol used to establish membership in a Multicast group.

Page 60: Static Routing
Technical Reference Static Routing If the iConnectAccess624 is connected to more than one network, you may need to set up a static route between them. A static route is a pre-defined pathway down which network information must travel to reach a specific host or network. You can use static routing to allow different IP domain users to access the Internet through the iConnectAccess624. - Page 61 This is the IP address of the next hop router in the path of the destination network. When a packet is ready to be sent to a destination, the iConnectAccess624 sends it on to the Gateway. The gateway examines the destination address in the header and passes the packet along to another Gateway router, chosen by a route-finding algorithm.
-
Page 62: Dynamic Routing
Technical Reference Dynamic Routing Using Routing Information Protocol (RIP), dynamic routing allows the iConnectAccess624 to adjust to physical changes in the network automatically. It determines the route through which the packets travel based on the fewest number of hops between the source and destination. - Page 63 RIP V1-Compatible is selected, routing data will be sent in RIP v2 format using multicasting. The direction determines the means through which RIP routes will be updated. Selecting In means that the iConnectAccess624 will only incorporate received RIP information. Selecting Out means that the iConnectAccess624 will only Direction send out RIP information.
