IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) Multicasting
The FiOS Router provides support for IGMP multicasting, which allows hosts
connected to a network to be updated whenever an important change occurs
in the network. A multicast is simply a message that is sent simultaneously to a
pre-defined group of recipients. When joining a multicast group, all messages
addressed to the group will be received by the user, much like when an email
message is sent to a mailing list. To activate IGMP multicasting

Domain Routing
Domain routing is used in multi-router local network configurations. Normally,
to access a device connected to one router from another router on the network,
its IP address must be used. Activating domain routing (by clicking in the
appropriate check box) allows the user to access to the computer by name (as
well as IP address).
8.8b IP Address Distribution
The FiOS Router’s DHCP server makes it possible to easily add computers
configured as DHCP clients to the network. It provides a mechanism for
allocating IP addresses to these hosts and for delivering network configuration
parameters to them.
For example, a client (host) sends out a broadcast message on the network
requesting an IP address for itself. The DHCP server then checks its list of
available addresses and leases a local IP address to the host for a specific period
