Using the AliasOptions and BroadcastOptions Properties
Table 7.2 summarizes the effect of each possible combination of the values of the
BroadcastOptions and AliasOptions properties.
Table 7.2 AliasOptions/BroadcastOptions Combinations
AliasOptions Values BroadcastOptions
Values
lcaAliasForSelectorConflicts lcaAliasForUnicasts
lcaBroadcastNever This is the default combination
applied to all LNS connections.
This combination allows for
subnet/node addressing and
multicast group addressing, but
it does not allow the use of
broadcast addressing.
This combination splits a
single multicast connection
into multiple unicast
connections using subnet/node
addressing, and allocates
aliases to the output network
variable. If no aliases are
available, LNS will use group
addressing instead.
