SUPPORT
B.1 Introduction
The MG-SIP provides state-of-the-art encapsulation based on the HDLC Specification
(ISO/IEC 13239). The MG-SIP provides the following configuration features:
•
HDLC Encapsulation of IP datagrams
•
Unicast Routing
•
Multicast Routing
•
64 Configurable Routes
•
Multicast Zones
B.2 Route Configuration
Both Unicast and Multicast IP datagrams are encapsulated per the HDLC specification.
Routing of datagrams is accomplished by configuration of the MG Route Table,
described in the following section.
B.2.1 Unicast Routing
Unicast routing provides point-to-point delivery of IP datagrams. Routes for Unicast IP
packets are configured according to the following:
• IP Addresses, which fall into three classes, namely: Class A (0.0.0.0 to
127.255.255.255), Class B (128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255), and Class C (192.0.0.0
to 223.255.255.255).
• HDLC Addresses, to which a specific IP destination address is mapped. This
identifies the packets in the HDLC stream for a particular route. The MR-SIP
