Advanced>Dynamic Routing

Dynamic Routing makes use of the RIP Protocol to allow the ADSL Router to au-

tomatically adjust to physical changes in the network. The NB5Plus4/W, using the 

RIP protocol, will determine the network packet route based on the least number of 

hops between the Source and the Destination. The RIP protocol regularly broadcasts 

routing information to other Routers on the network and is part of the IP Suite.
