Dynamic Routing - The ability for a router to forward data via a different route based on the current conditions of the communications circuits. For example, it can adjust for overloaded traffic or failing lines and is much more flexible than static routing, which uses a fixed forwarding path.
Instant EtherFast® Series Multicast Routing Protocol - A routing protocol that supports multicast packets (one to many). Multicasting - Sends data to a group of nodes instead of a single destination. Network - A system that transmits any combination of voice, video, and/or data between users. NIC (Network Interface Card) - A board installed in a computer system, usually a PC, to provide network communication capabilities to and from that computer system. Also called an adapter.
