RDL-3000 User Manual
Service Groups
Service Groups classify and process ingress and egress packets on the sector controller
Ethernet port, and to set wireless broadcast and multicast rates for Service Group
members (broadcast group). Service Group settings include VLAN ID (tag), default
priority, and broadcast rates. See 3.2.3: Setting Wireless Rates on page 27 for wireless
rate settings.

If the Ethernet port ingress packet has a VLAN tag and the VID matches a Service
Group, the VLAN tag is removed (Q-in-Q) and the packet is forwarded over the wireless
interface. Unicast packets addressed to a Service Group member are forwarded only to
that host subscriber. Broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast packets are forwarded
to all Service Group members.
Packets received over the wireless link are processed by the parent Service Group of
the originating Service. If the VLAN tagging mode is 'tagged', a VLAN tag with the
Service Group VID is added to the packet (Q-in-Q), and the packet is forwarded over the
Ethernet port.
Note: At least one Service Group (sector controller) and one Service (subscriber) must
be defined before Ethernet traffic can be exchanged over the wireless interface.
