Link (Ip) (bacnet-BacnetIpLinkLayer)
This component is the BACnet/IP virtual link layer implementation. Link binding is automatic to the selected Ip adapter of
the host platform.
The Ip Port container provides for BACnet Annex J communications as a BACnet/IP device. This Link node is also the parent container for the Broadcast Distribution Table and Foreign Device Table.
