PointĆtoĆPoint Protocol (PPP) combined with IP routing is the
technology of choice to create a small IP based homeĆ(W)LAN.
Similar to PPPoA/PPTP, it provides a session concept. Additionally,
IP routing combined with NAPT allows to multiplex users into a
single VC.
The STWireless IP router can also be combined with Classical IP
(CIP ).
Classical IP is a mature technique for creating classical IP networks
on top of ATM technology. It is widely supported by most, if not all
remote access routers.
Although not the original aim of
Classical IP , it is mostly used for
connecting routers over wide area pointĆtoĆpoint links.
The criteria below can help you to select the most appropriate
packet service for your application:
"
The configuration required by your SP
"
The application protocol you wish to use (within the
boundaries of the remote end)
"
The session aspect: an AlwaysĆon" connection or a
connection that is established when needed, i.e. DialĆup"
"
Connectivity to a single, or simultaneously to multiple remote
network(s)
"
Security features such as identification, authentication and
encryption
"
ADSL modem vs. ADSL gateway router model.
All packet services can be active at the same time without any
restriction. The STWireless can manage any combination of the
five packet services simultaneously up to a maximum number of
12 configured virtual connections.
Note : For Transparent Bridging, the maximum number of
configured Bridging ports is four.
