22Link-Group-Connection
- Link wireless link
- Wireless path between one SC and one SS
- SS MAC address
- DL burst rate, UL burst rate
- Group logical, multicast domain
- Made up of SS connections assigned to the group
- How packets of this group gets treated at SC
Ethernet port - Tagged or untagged at SC
- What QoS level is assigned for the groups
multicast traffic - Connection logical user data flow between SC
and SS - A connection belongs to a group and a link
- What QoS level is assigned to this connection
- How packets of this connection are treated at SS
Ethernet port - Tagged or untagged at SS
23Configuration Limits
- Max of active SSs per sector is 20
- Max of groups per sector is 30
- Max of connections (VIDs) per link is 12
- Max of MAC addresses per group is 4000
- Max of IDs (link, group, connection) per sector
is 1000 - Each connection (VID) must belong to one group
and one group only - Each connection (VID) must belong to one link and
one link only - Each group can have only one connection (VID) at
a subscriber or section controller - A pass-through group is used to pass untagged
packets and tagged, but undefined packets - There can be only one pass-through group at a SC
- There can be only one pass-through connection at
a SS - QoS level setting provision as per PMP Config

26Campus Network Scenario
- Between Subscriber (SS1) and Switch (SW1)
- Each VLAN segment is assigned a unique VID
- E.g. Dept 1 packets are tagged w/ VID300
- Each VID has a CIR (minimum bit rate)
- For each VLAN segment
- A virtual group is defined as a multicast domain
- E.g. Group I for Dept 1 at Site 1 and Site 2
- Each group has a multicast CIR
- Within each virtual group
- VID can differ at each site
- E.g. Group II for Dept 2
- packet VID400 at Site 1
- packet VID700 at Site 2
- Data between Dept 1 2
- Through Router
- Layer 3 connectivity only
- Dept 1 packets tagged with VID 300
- Dept 2 packets tagged with VID 400
