 **Enable TCP SYN cookies** - Enabling this protects the router from SYN Flood attacks via the well-known "SYN cookies" technique. This function encodes information from the SYN packet into the response (SYN/ACK). Despite being a standard technique, enabling this will create some secondary limitations that may not be handled well by some old TCP/IP stacks. **Enable TCP SYN cookies** - Enabling this protects the router from SYN Flood attacks via the well-known "SYN cookies" technique.

 **NAT loopback** - also known as "Hairpinning", this technique allows LAN devices to access another LAN device via the WAN interface of your router. This is common practice, for example, when connecting to the DDNS domain of your router from the LAN (for administration purposes). This legacy setting is rarely, if ever needed nowadays. It also can create a bottleneck on fast connections. **NAT loopback** - also known as "Hairpinning", this technique allows LAN devices to access another LAN device via the WAN interface of your router.

 **Efficient Multicast Forwarding (IGMP Snooping) -** IGMP snooping is a way to have the switch (router) facilitating the discovery of multicast (IGMP) clients. Beware that enabling IGMP snooping might interfere with some multicast-based applications/protocols. This issue is well-known, for example when using uPnP (Universal Plug 'n Play). **Efficient Multicast Forwarding (IGMP Snooping) -** IGMP snooping is a way to have the switch (router) facilitating the discovery of multicast (IGMP) clients.

 **Force IGMPv2** - IGMPv2 enhances the IGMP communication supporting additional messages/behavior to optimise the end-to-end communication between client and server. Possibly the most important being the "Group Leave" message which is lacking instead in IGMP v1.\\ **Force IGMPv2** - IGMPv2 enhances the IGMP communication supporting additional messages/behavior to optimise the end-to-end communication between client and server.
