Overview
This chapter provides examples of how data packets are routed through the
customer and management domains.
Customer Packet Walk-Through
To examine how data packets flow through the customer domain, an example of
ES1 issuing a ping to ISP1 will be used. The following assumptions are made:
 A host route entry has been configured in the HotWire 5446 RTU for ES1
 A source domain IP entry exists for the HotWire 5446 RTU
 A static route exists between the DSL card and the HotWire 5446 RTU
 Upstream filtering is disabled
The following illustration shows how data packets flow through the customer
domain. In this illustration ES1 is connected to the same LAN as the HotWire
5446 RTU.
