Traditional Adapter Mode



Traditional Adapter Mode
 

This illustration shows:


Cross-subnet traffic, such as traffic from Net 1 to Net 2 , must be forwarded by a router. The router can be internal to the server or an external stand-alone device.

The advantage of the Traditional Adapter mode is that a router restricts cross-subnet traffic to only those data packets that are uniquely addressed to the target network. The disadvantage of this mode is that server responsiveness might be heavily impaired due to the burden of packet routing. This mode should be used only when little or no cross-subnet traffic is expected.
