Rack package:

A rack package version contains the engine, cards, FE cards, FW cards, and other service cards. When a rack package is used for an upgrade, relevant parts are upgraded accordingly. A device needs to be restarted when the device is upgraded using a rack package.

Hot patch package:

A hot patch package contains hot patches of multiple function components. It is often used to fix small bugs. When a device is upgraded using a hot patch package, patches are installed for function components. After the upgrade, the device supports new functions immediately and it does not need to be restarted.

In general, the name of a hot patch package is xx patch.bin. For details, see relevant release notes.
