Wide Area Network Termination

•Your network may change address with each connection making it more difficult to attack.

When you configure Instant On access, you can also configure an idle time-out value. Your Gateway monitors traffic over the Internet link and when there has been no traffic for the configured number of seconds, it disconnects the link.

When new traffic that is destined for the Internet arrives at the Gateway, the Gateway will instantly re-establish the link.

Your service provider may be using a system that assigns the Internet address of your Gateway out of a pool of many possible Internet addresses. The address assigned varies with each connection attempt, which makes your network a moving target for any attacker.
