RDL-3000 FAMILY

Classification

The RDL-3000 can operate as a point-to-multipoint (PMP) VLAN-aware wireless L2
switch. Traffic is classified and processed by creating Service and Service Group profiles
to be applied to all packets received and being transmitted on the Ethernet port of each
RDL-3000. The sector controller and subscriber are configured separately for use with
VLAN tagged traffic, untagged traffic, or a combination these two types. Multiple VLAN
IDs can be configured for each port.
Each ingress and egress Ethernet packet is examined and classified according to the
VLAN ID. The matching profile and data direction determines if a VID should be added
or removed, if the packet should be forwarded unmodified (pass through mode), or if the
packet is discarded. Additional traffic controls include CIR/PIR settings to guarantee
required bandwidth.

Links and Services

Ethernet data traffic can not be transmitted over the wireless interface until at least one
Link, Service, and Service Group have been provisioned. All provisioning is performed
on the sector controller:
Link: Define the wireless connection between the sector controller and subscriber
and set the uplink and downlink uncoded burst rates (UBR).
Service: Define how packets are classified and processed at the subscriber Ethernet
port. Set traffic parameters for subscriber (unicast) traffic.
Service Group: Define how packets are classified and processed at the sector
controller Ethernet port. Set traffic parameters for broadcast/multicast groups.

Wireless Links

A Link defines a wireless connection between the sector controller and subscriber Each
link is uniquely identified with either a name and the subscriber MAC address, or with a
link template (STID). The Link definition sets the uplink and downlink rates (UBR).
