Data network planning
This section describes factors to be considered when planning PTP 700 data networks.
Ethernet interfaces
The PTP 700 Ethernet ports conform to the specifications listed in Table 58.
Table 54
PTP 700 Ethernet bridging specifications
Ethernet Bridging
Specification
Protocol IEEE802.1; IEEE802.1p; IEEE802.3 compatible
QoS Eight wireless interface priority queues based on these
standards: IEEE 802.1p, IEEE 802.1Q, IEEE 802.1ah, IEEE
802.1ad, DSCP IPv4, DSCP IPv6, MPLS TC, DSCP in PPP
Session Stage
Interfaces 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T, 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX
MDI/MDIX auto crossover supported
Max Ethernet frame size 9600 bytes
Service classes for traffic 8 classes
Practical Ethernet rates depend on network configuration and higher layer protocols. Over the
air throughput is capped to the rate of the Ethernet interface at the receiving end of the link.
Layer two control protocols
PTP 700 identifies layer two control protocols (L2CPs) from the Ethernet destination address of
bridged frames. The QoS classification can be separately configured for these protocols.
