IP Networking
Very essential part of NGM system:
All data transmission between system elements goes through the Ethernet
Fault tolerant
Ethernet network elements (System Gateways and switches) are duplicated Each system element (AS, SS, IS, etc.) is connected to both switches Channel Bonding: Linux feature allowing two Ethernet interfaces (active and passive) from the same system element

IP Networking
The network can be divided from the Tecnotree NGM point of view to
External Network Private Network
Normally the private network is a so-called flat network

All devices are in the same subnet
However, the system can also be grouped into several subnets

For example, due to a dispersed geographical system setup
