D-Star DD protocol spec


 

Pardon if this has been asked/answered before.? I looked and couldn't find it.

Where can I find an English version of the protocol spec for DD?

I'm not talking about how to configure a radio.? I'm talking about how the DD protocol works over the air:? retries, acknowledgements, timeouts, frame sequence numbers, etc.

Thanks,

There is NO PROTOCOL.? There are no retries, acknowledgements, timeouts, frame sequence numbers, etc.? Zip.? Nada.? Any of that stuff must be done by the equipment connected by the Ethernet cable to the ID-1.? Eg, TCP/IP.

Consider the RF connection between two ID-1 radios to be a (noisy, unreliable) wire.

TCP/IP is network layer and above.? It knows nothing of the underlying medium.

?

Something must govern at least MAC (CSMA/CA??) and functionality on the RF side of the radio.

Best info is a documented titled:

D-Star Digital Data (DD) Mode Packet Structure by KM4ML


 

The file D-Star Digital Data (DD) Mode Packet Structure by KM4ML?is in the High-Speed Digital Data (DD) Folder of the Files section of the group.?

Nor does the radio.? Every Ethernet packet it sees on the Ethernet connection, is sent out.? ARPs, pings, everything, regardless of MAC address.? "TCP/IP" was an example (hence the "eg").? There is no collision detection.? Everyone I know uses a router/gateway to limit traffic, or the radio will be broadcasting everything on the LAN.

I don't believe it stores packets, but I'm not sure on that one.
