+  description: A Packet Forwarder is a program running on a Gateway that receives and transmits LoRa packets, and forwards these packets to and from a Network Server.

+- term: Semtech UDP Packet Forwarder
+  description: The Semtech UDP Packet Forwarder is the first packet forwarder, connecting to servers through the Semtech UDP protocol. Although this protocol has several drawbacks, many gateways include a pre-compiled version of the packet forwarder, which makes it easy to test a gateway with this protocol.

 - term: Activation Mode
   description: "**Over-the-Air Activation (OTAA)** is the preferred and most secure way to connect a device. Devices perform a join-procedure with the network, during which a dynamic Device Address is assigned and security keys are negotiated with the device. **Activation by Personalization (ABP)** requires hardcoding the Device Address as well as the security keys in the device. This strategy might seem simpler, because you skip the join procedure, but it has downsides related to security. ABP also has the downside that devices can not switch network providers without manually changing keys in the device. **Multicast** is a virtual group of ABP devices which allows all devices to receive the same downlinks. Multicast groups do not support uplinks."
