1.1.3. SW concept
RAy is a typical Software Defined Radio product line, where all possible technical features are defined
by the internal software (SW). This internal software is distributed to users in a form of unit firmware
(FW) developed by RACOM to optimally manage all hardware inside the unit.
The strategy is to have one common FW version to support all RAy3 models for all bands and sub-
bands. It ensures that every advance in the SW development (i.e. every new feature or every bug-fix)
is immediately available on all RAy3 units. Temporary exceptions (like a separate FW version for 10
and 80 GHz units) are sometimes necessary, due to the complexity of SW development.
1.1.4. Network concept
RAy links support only the Ethernet type of traffic and they are transparent for IP and UDP packets.
Practically all protocols pass through unmodified including MPLS, RSTP (BPDU frames) and many
others, except following:
• Management packets targeted for RAy units itself
• Special packets for protocols explicitly mentioned in this manual, which are somehow processed by
RAy units (like PTP)
• Packets, which did not went through and were discarded due to capacity limitation and/or policy rules
(e.g. PIRL, QoS, EGRES shaping ...)
