In this case, if the WAN connection is dropped due to inactivity and this feature is enabled, RIP packets will be sent to the other routers on the network telling them that data can still be sent to the WAN via this router. Otherwise, the other routers will learn that the WAN link has been disconnected and will no longer forward packets destined for the WAN to this router, causing the packets to be dropped before Bandwidth on Demand has a chance to reestablish the WAN connection.

A static route is a permanent entry in the routing table. Static routing provides a means of explicitly defining the next hop router for a particular destination network IP address. Each static route entry also allows for a metric (a.k.a. hop count) to be specified.
