Service Groups
Service Groups define classification for ingress and egress packets at the sector
controller Ethernet port, and set the uplink and downlink rates (per Service Group) for
broadcast and multicast traffic associated with this service group. Service Group settings
include VLAN ID (tag), default priority, and broadcast rates (see
Fig. 6: Functional Desc. - Service Groups (Sector Controller)
Notes:
1.
Service Group must be associated with a Link.
2.
Packet priority is preserved. Default priority may be specified when priority was not
specified in the original packet.
3.
Ethernet port ingress packets with VLAN tags matching a Service Group definition
have the VLAN tag removed (Q-in-Q), and are forwarded over the wireless interface.
Forwarding is based on the packet address:
Unicast packets addressed to a known address are forwarded to that host.
Broadcast, multicast, and unknown unicast packets are forwarded to all members of
the Service Group.
4.
Ethernet port egress packets (received over the wireless interface) have the
associated VLAN tag added (Q-in-Q) and are forwarded on the Ethernet segment.
5.
Unclassified ingress/egress packets are forwarded unmodified if a 'Pass through'
template is defined. This includes packets that do not match any defined VLAN ID or
do not have a VLAN tag.
6.
Packets that do not match any classification are discarded.
