you really have been waiting around 7 years I believe I got the answer I think its a input device I'm sorry you had to wait around 7 years
ANDing is used by a router, to see if the host which has to be contacted, is on the local network of the router, or a remote network.
A router is an Intermediate System (IS) which operates at the network layer of the OSI reference model. Routers may be used to connect two or more IP networks, or an IP network to an internet connection. A router consists of a computer with at least two network interface cards supporting the IP protocol. The router receives packets from each interface via a network interface and forwards the received packets to an appropriate output network interface. Received packets have all link layer protocol headers removed, and transmitted packets have a new link protocol header added prior to transmission. The router uses the information held in the network layer header (i.e. IP header) to decide whether to forward each received packet, and which network interface to use to send the packet. Most packets are forwareded based on the packet's IP destination address, along with routing information held within the router in a routing table. Before a packet is forwarded, the processor checks the Maximum Transfer Unit (MTU) of the specified interface. Packets larger than the interface's MTU must be fragmented by the router into two or more smaller packets. If a packet is received which has the Don't Fragment (DF) bit set in the packet header, the packet is not fragmented, but instead discarded. In this case, an ICMP error message is returned to the sender (i.e. to the original packet's IP source address) informing it of the interface's MTU size. This forms the basis for Path MTU discovery (PMTU). The routing and filter tables resemble similar tables in link layer bridges and switches. Except, that instead of specifying link hardware addresses (MAC addresses), the router table sepcify network (IP addresses). The routing table lists known IP destination addresses with the appropraite network interface to be used to reach that destiantion. A default entry may be specified to be used for all addresses not explicitly defined in the table. A filter table may also be used to ensure that unwanted packets are discarded. The filter may be used to deny access to particular protocols or to prevent unauthorised access from remote computers by discarding packets to specified destination addresses. A router forwards packets from one IP network to another IP network. Like other systems, it determines the IP network from the logical AND of an IP address with the associated subnetwork address mask. One execption to this rule is when a router receives an IP packet to a network broadcast address. In this case, the router discards the packet. Forwarding broadcast packet can lead to severe storms of packets, and if uncontrolled could lead to network overload. A router introduces delay (latency) as it processes the packets it receives. The total delay observed is the sum of many components including: * Time taken to process the frame by the data link protocol * Time taken to select the correct output link (i.e. filtering and routing) * Queuing delay at the output link (when the link is busy) * Other activities which consume processor resources (computing routing tables, network management, generation of logging information) The router queue of packets waiting to be sent also introduces a potential cause of packet loss. Since the router has a finite amount of buffer memory to hold the queue, a router which receives packets at too high a rate may experience a full queue. In this case, the router ahs no other option than to simply discard excess packets. If required, these may later be retransmitted by a transport protocol. Architecture of a router Routers are often used to connect together networks which use different types of links (for instance an HDLC link connecting a WAN to a local Ethernet LAN). The optimum (and maximum) packet lengths (i.e. the maximum transmission unit (MTU)) is different for different types of network. A router may therefore uses IP to provide segmentation of packets into a suitable size for transmission on a network. Associated protocols perform network error reporting (ICMP), communication between routers (to determine appropriate routes to each destination) and remote monitoring of the router operation (network management). The operation of a simple modern router is described on a separate page. If you want to know how the router actually works click HERE.
The network administor must have physical access to the device to establish a console connection whereas TELNET access can be established form a remote location. However telnet access depend upon a router with network access's, whereas a console connection can be used to access the router regardless of the router's configuration.

A typical VOIP to VOIP call transfers from your local network to the remote VOIP server. When the server receives the voice call packets, the destination header of these packets is read to direct them to the destination. These servers are connected to SIP trunk lines or termination routes. The voice packets are directed to these routes through this server.
Here are the codes associated with your LG TV: 627, 505, 520, 553, 773, or 718. I have also provided instructions on how to program your Dish remote to your TV. Thanks.Address Remote to TV/Other DevicesWhile at the device location (TV, etc), point the remote at the device. Press and hold the device button on the remote (TV, Aux, etc). - All four mode buttons should light upEnter the three-digit remote control code - The mode button (TV, Aux, etc.)you selected should light upPress the Pound (#) button - The mode button you are programming should flash three timesPress the large, red POWER button - The device should turn off
ICMP is the internet control access protocol . ICMP is the plrotocol that should be allowed when not able to ping a remote device residing behind a firewall. ICMP is the protocol of network layer.
