5.3.4 IP Routing
Overview
The
IP Routing
table presents the current content of the SpeedTouch™ Routing
Information Base. It contains all routes to all possible destinations and is consulted by
the SpeedTouch™ any time prior to sending or forwarding any packets.
Similar to the IP address table, a number of IP Routes are pre-configured. Other
routes are either added via adding an IP address manually, or via the address
negotiation of a Packet Service connection session, e.g. for
Routed PPPoA 's or
Routed PPPoE 's IPCP, via the DHCP client, e.g. for Routed Ethernet (MER), via pre-
configuration, for example for Routed IPoA, or by the Routing Information Protocol.
