Configuring Header De-Duplication and Frame Cut-
Through
Note
Header De-Duplication is supported for PTP 820C and PTP 820S.
Header De-Duplication enables operators to significantly improve Ethernet throughout over the
radio link without affecting user traffic. Header De-Duplication can be configured to operate on
various layers of the protocol stack, saving bandwidth by reducing unnecessary header overhead.
Header De-duplication is also sometimes known as header compression.
Note
The Header De-Duplication configuration must be identical on both sides of the link.
Using the Frame Cut-Through feature, frames assigned to queues with 4th priority pre-empt
frames already in transmission over the radio from other queues. Transmission of the pre-empted
frames is resumed after the cut -through with no capacity loss or re-transmission required.
Note
To configure Header De-Duplication and Frame Cut-Through:
1.
Select Radio > Ethernet Interface > Configuration. The Radio Ethernet Interface Configuration
page opens.
o
For PTP 820C units, the Radio Ethernet Interface Configuration page initially displays a
table as shown in
o
For PTP 820S units, a page appears, similar to
(which shows a PTP 820C page).
