Destination is an abstraction to hide the technical specific settings from the users of applications. Instead of Access Points the user can select destinations with its name such as ‘Internet’ or ‘Intranet’, etc. Each destination can contain numerous access technologies (hence “connection methods”) that can be used to access the destination or service domain in question. When a connection to destination is being established, the device can automatically select the best available. Destination, Destination Network, SNAP refers to the same meaning. |
