410i. Although ISDN routers
are used for both data and
voice connections, testing
focused exclusively on bench-
marks using data traffic only.
Testing was performed in
February 1999.
Results show the 3Com LAN
Modem supports a wide range
of applications via Network
Address Translation (NAT). It
was the only ISDN router that
featured support for both
multiple destination networks
and “data call bumping,” or the
ability to reallocate an ISDN B
channel.
Additionally, 3Com’s LAN
Modem was one of only two
products that offered support for
all the GUI features evaluated
in this project, but unlike other
products, the 3Com LAN
Modem did not require extra
management software. Its Web-
based GUI required the least
number of steps for the initial
“out-of-the-box” configuration.
Finally, benchmarks of data com-
pression throughput showed that
the 3Com LAN Modem’s imple-
mentation delivered effective
application throughput at a level
higher than the rated link speed.
