2.3.2AST350i Packet Services

What is a packet service ?

Packet services are the core functions of the AST350i. They provide that frames or packets get forwarded from the LAN side towards the DSL line and vice versa.

Three packet services

Multiprotocol

￿Transparent Bridging

￿Bridged PPPoE

￿PPPoA￿to￿PPTP Relaying.

All examples in this User's Guide are based on the Internet Protocol (IP) suite.

However, the AST350i DSL modem is a true multiprotocol device: it can easily handle most other popular protocol suites

Examples in this User's Guide

This User's Guide presents typical configurations, but as an experienced user you are free to experiment and to find an optimal configuration.

Two access methods ￿ Direct access

Once initial configuration is done, continuous and immediate access is available via the DSL line.

For direct access use:

DTransparent Bridging

￿Dial￿in access

In this mode access must be explicitly established, e.g. by •dialing" into a Remote Access Server (RAS).

For dial￿in access use either of:

DBridged PPPoE

DPPPoA￿to￿PPTP Relaying.
