Glossary

Term	Definition
beacon interval	The time interval at which beacon frames are
	transmitted. Beacon frames announce the
	existence of the wireless network.
DTIM (Delivery Traffic	A DTIM field is a countdown field informing
Indication Message)	clients of the next window for listening to
	broadcast and multicast messages. When the
	Cisco RV220W has buffered broadcast or
	multicast messages for associated clients, it
	sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value.
	Its clients hear the beacons and awaken to
	receive the broadcast and multicast messages.
dynamic routing	Dynamic routing enables the router to adjust
	automatically to physical changes in the
	network’s layout. Using the dynamic RIP
	protocol, the router calculates the most efficient
	route for the network’s data packets to travel
	between the source and the destination. The
	RIP protocol regularly broadcasts routing
	information to other routers on the network. It
	determines the best route based on the fewest
	number of hops between the source and the
	destination.
