routes to pass traffic between them.

This mode is similar to Small Network Mode, the exception being that a maximum of 32,766
remotes are allowed on a single shared satellite outbound carrier.
Router – Point-to-Point Mode
Select for use in a Point-to-Point SCPC link where there are different IP subnets on either side of
the link.
