F.3 High-Speed Packet Processor Features
The High-Speed Packet Processor enables efficient IP networking and transport over satellite
either in Router Mode (P0 | MGMT port only) or Managed Switch Mode (P1 | DATA through P4
| DATA ports). The combination of QoS and Header Compression ensures the highest quality of
service with minimal jitter and latency for real-time traffic as well as priority treatment of
mission critical applications. When combined with the hardware based payload compression
card, the CDM-760 offers the maximum bandwidth efficiency.
F.3.1 Modes of Operation
See Chapter 7. ETHERNET INTERFACE OPERATION for in-depth information about
the function and operation of the CDM-760 HTTP Interface as used for Packet
Processor operations.
At present, Router Point-to-Point Mode and Bridge Point-to-Point Mode are the
only modes of operation allowed by the CDM-760.
F.3.1.1 Static Route Configuration
A CDM-760 equipped with the High-Speed Packet Processor operates in “Router Point-to-Point”
mode to support Point-to-Point network topologies. The Packet Processor’s P0 | MGMT M&C
port operates in a routed mode; the P1 through P4 data ports operate in “Bridge Point-to-Point”
mode – these user data interfaces are never routed.
