IGMPSNOOPING



InternetGroupManagementProtocol(IGMP)SnoopingallowstheESTeemHorizontooperatemoreefficientlyinnetworkswith

highMulticast(UDP,etc.)traffic.IGMPSnoopingwilldefinethedestinationfortheMulticasttrafficandsendthedatatothe

correctwirelessEthernetmodem,nottheentirenetwork.ThislimitingofMulticasttraffictospecificdestinationsgreatlyincreases

theoverallnetworkefficiency.



TheproblemwithusingmulticasttrafficoverawirelessconnectionisthatmulticastpacketsdonotrequireanAcknowledgeon

theprotocollayer.IfthewirelessnetworkmissesadatapacketontheRFnetwork,thatmulticastdatapacketislost.



TheoryofOperation



TherearetwotypesofEthernetpacketsonanetwork,unicastandmulticast.Unicastisintendedforexactlyonerecipient(and

ignoredbyallothers).Multicastisintendedtobereceivedbymultiplerecipients.Interestedpartiescanlistenforparticular

multicastpackets,butmostnodesignoreit.Inanycase,thenetworkmediumisstillutilizednomatterhowmanynodesare

listening.Broadcastpacketsareaspecialtypeofmulticasttrafficwhichallnodesalwaysreceive.Theseareparticularlyusefulfor

globalannouncements(Hey,I'mAlice!)andqueries(Hey,I'mAliceandI'mlookingforBob!).Morerelevantly,itishowhostson

anetworkfindouteachother'saddresses,andareabsolutelycrucialtotheproperfunctioningofanetwork.



Asthenetworkgrowsphysically,itencounterssomegrowingpains.Thefirstismorephysical,relatingtothecablinglimitations.

Bridgessolvethisproblembyjoiningtwophysicalnetworkstogethersotheyappeartobeasinglelargenetwork.Throughuseof

bridges,anetworkcanscaletohundredsoreventhousandsofhosts.Thereisadownside,however.Wellbeforethephysical

limitationsofbridginghit,youstarttorunintoefficiencyproblems,asalltraffichastotraveleverywhereonthenetwork.Theraw

carryingcapacityofthissharedmedium,oftenreferredtoasbandwidth,isthesecondscalingproblem.



Smartbridges,orswitches,helpalleviatethebandwidthproblembyonlypassingtrafficacrossthebridgeifthedestinationhost

wasontheotherside.Thisgreatlyincreasesthecapacityandefficiencyofthenetworkbyallowingtwopairsofhosts

communicatingsimultaneouslyoneachsideoftheswitchedbridge.Onlywhenthepacketneedstogototheothersideisboth

mediumsutilizedsimultaneouslyforthesamepacket.



Unfortunately,broadcastandmulticasttrafficbyitsverynaturemustalwaysberelayedacrossthebridge.Whilethenumberof

networknodesmaygrowlinearly,themulticasttraffictendstogrowexponentially.Thisisn'tgenerallyaproblemforwired

networks,astheyhaveaconsiderableamountofbandwidthtospare,butwirelessnetworkshave,atbest,anorderofmagnitude

lessbandwidthtobeginwith.Ifawirelessnetworkisbridgedwithawirednetwork,whiletheabsolutenumbersarethesame,a

muchhigherproportionofthewirelessnetwork’savailablebandwidthisusedupbymulticasttraffic.Thiseffectisfurther

magnifiedifmultiplewirelessrepeatersareinuse.



Thepreferredwayofdealingwithexcessmulticasttrafficistoputthewirelessnetworkonadifferentsub‐network(subnet)and

usearoutertojoinittothewirednetwork.Thisensuresthatonlyunicasttrafficintendedforthewirelessnetworkcrossesover,

asmulticastandbroadcasttrafficstayswithinitslocalsubnet.Normallythisisfine,buttherearetimeswhereyouneedmulticast

traffictospansubnets.ForIPtraffic,thiscanbeobviatedbyusingamulticast‐capablerouter,butforlegacymulticastprotocols

thatwerenotdesignedtoberouted,anothersolutionmustbefound.

Information to Users

FCC Statement

The ESTeem Horizon complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This

device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference

that may cause undesired operation.

Caution: Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by ESTeem Wireless Modems for compliance could

void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

IC Statement

“This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two

conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including

interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.”

“Cet appareil est conforme avec Industrie Canada exempts de licence standard RSS (s). Son fonctionnement est soumis aux

The equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the

FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated

in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and

used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this

equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the

interference at his own expense.

thekeyoutandchangethedefaultpasswordonyouraccesspointorwirelessrouter



6. Considerusinganadditionallevelofauthentication,suchasRemoteAccessDailinUserService(RADIUS),beforeyoupermit

anassociationwithyouraccesspointsthroughWPAandWPA2Enterprise.
