3.5 Single User Account
Typically, if there are multiple users on the LAN wanting to concurrently access the Internet, they
will have to subscribe to multiple IP addresses or a Class C sub-network from the ISP. In either
case, these two approaches will cost more than a single user account.
The Single User Account (SUA) feature allows customers to have the same benefits as having a
Class C address, but still only pay for one IP address, thus saving significantly on subscription
fees. (Check with your ISP before you enable this feature).
Figure 3-4 illustrates a typical Single User Account topology.

The Single User Account feature may also be used to connect to TCP/IP remote nodes other than
the ISP. For example, this feature can be used to simplify the allocation of IP addresses when
connecting branch offices to the corporate network.
