the employment of additional intelligence within the network enabled more sophisticated error control and link control procedures to be applied
the subdivision of information into individually addressed packets in conjunction with alternative routing arrangement enabled the transmission path to be altered in the event of congestion or individ
All of these
by employing wide bandwidth circuits for the trunk networks substantial economies through extensive sharing of capacity could be achieved.
This address identifies multiple interfaces and the anycast packet is only delivered to one address. This address can also be called one-to-one-of-many.
Packets addressed to a unicast address are delivered to a single interface.
Packets are delivered to all interfaces identified by the address. This is also called one-to-many addresses.
These addresses are meant for nonrouting purposes, but they are almost globally unique so it is unlikely they will have an address overlap.
