Abstract:
PURPOSE: An apparatus and method for interfacing different types of back pressures are provided to interface an in-band type back pressure unit and an out-band type back pressure unit by converting an in-band type control signal to an out-band type control signal. CONSTITUTION: A synchronous signal generator(507) generates a clock required for restoring cell synchronization and a synchronous signal corresponding to a current synchronization state. A cell extracting unit(505) extracts a 4-byte cell header upon receiving a cell start signal of a cell consisting of 64 bytes. A cell reading unit(504) extracts FBPBITMAP(0:39) information and BPSYNC(0:3) information included in a header related to a 12-byte back pressure which has been inputted during 3 clocks from the cell start signal, and compares/reads the BPSYNC signal with the synchronous signal generated from the synchronous signal generator(507). An FBPBITMAP register(506) temporarily stores the FBPBITMAP information. An FBPBITMAP comparator(503) compares the FBPBITMAP information temporarily stored in the FBPBITMAP register(506) with the current FBPBITMAP information inputted from the cell reading unit(504). A back pressure storing unit(502) stores information on a logical port. An external signal generator(501) converts the information on the logical port to an external back pressure signal.

PURPOSE: A method for duplicating an IPC(Inter-Processor Communication) channel using Ethernet hub boards is provided to stabilize an IPC channel by using two duplicated Ethernet hub boards. CONSTITUTION: If an IPC message to be transmitted to processor B or C(130,140) is made at processor board A(120) in the form of an Ethernet frame, the made Ethernet frame is transferred to processor B or C(130,140) through an active Ethernet hub board among two duplicated Ethernet hub boards A and B(100,110) according to an Ethernet protocol operation. On the contrary, on case that an IPC message to be transmitted to processor A(120) is made at processor board B(130) in the form of an Ethernet frame, the made Ethernet frame is transferred to processor A(120) through the active Ethernet hub board according to an Ethernet protocol operation.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: An OAM(Operating And Management) processing method in an ATM(Asynchronous Transfer Mode)-based MPLS(Multi Protocol Label Switch) system is provided to offer an OAM function requested between a router and a subscriber network and offer an OAM function with respect to an ATM service in the ATM-based MPLS system. CONSTITUTION: Channel information set up through an IPC(Inter Processor Communication) between an FE(Forwarding Engine)(31) and an MSC(MPLS Service Controller)(34) is stored in a table. A service type is judged from the formed channel table whenever an OAM cell is inputted to a specific channel. If the received OAM cell is an OAM cell inputted to an LSP(Label Switched Path) channel, the OAM cell is transmitted to the FE(31) through a PCI(Peripheral Component Interconnect). If the received OAM cell is an OAM cell inputted to an ATM channel, the OAM cell is transmitted to an input and output buffer switch(32) through a UTOPIA(Universal Test and Operations PHY Interface for ATM). The OAM process with respect to the LSP channel and the ATM channel is simultaneously performed in one system. Various OAM function are embodied between the FE(31) and a node of a subscriber network through the IPC from the MSC(34).

PURPOSE: A device driving system for performing a high-speed SAR(Segmentation And Reassembly)function is provided to drive an MXT4400 AAL(ATM(Asynchronous Transfer Mode) Adaptation Layer)-5 SAR chip for performing the SAR function about an ATM cell. CONSTITUTION: An SAR high-level control unit(10) performs a programming interface of a host application program and an SAR low-level control unit(30). A data structure defining unit(20) defines and stores data necessary for controlling each control unit. The SAR low-level control unit(30) provides a mechanical code operated in an SAR device and a programming interface. A peripheral device connection bus control unit(40) sets a control path between the SAR device and a host central device.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An interface unit of an ATM(Asynchronous Transfer Mode) switch in an edge router of an MPLS(Multi-Protocol Label Switching) network, is provided to enable cell frames having different structure to be converted to each other. CONSTITUTION: A memory part(30) stores a cell that will be transmitted. An output port information storing part(35) stores the information related to an output port of a switch. A transmission cell conversion part(31) reads the cell stored in the part(30), and then converts the information stored in the part(35) to a local internal cell. A cell path selection part(34) provides a loop-back function. A reception cell conversion part(37) converts the structure of the local cell frame, received in response to a clock applied via a switch link, to the structure of a standard cell frame. A memory part(38) stores a received cell which is converted by the reception cell conversion part(37).
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An apparatus for controlling a lookup of a high-speed IP(Internet Protocol) header in an edge router of an MPLS(Multi-Protocol Label Switching) network, is provided to improve lookup process efficiency, by processing the lookup based on hardware in parallel using a control circuit, and expanding an IP lookup table without connection of each device in series. CONSTITUTION: An IP packet header receiver(301) receives IP packet information and IP header information. An IP packet header test part(302) recognizes a packet type of the packet information. An IP header label extraction part(303) recognizes an IP header area, and thereby extracts an IP header and an MPLS label. An IP packet header test part(304) performs a test function. A lookup data/control generation part(306) controls a control signal for performing the lookup, an IP target place address and an originating place address. A lookup device interface part(307) provides a function for interfacing with a lookup device. A label information interface part(308) fetches label information from a label information table, and then stores it in a storage part(309). A transmission header change sort part(310) extracts desired information, and sorts it.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A device for processing a label switching of an internet protocol packet using a TDX-ATM exchange and its method are provided to automatically process an inner processing step by simplifying by functionally blocking a processing step of packet connected with a complex routing function and to transmit the packet to a subscriber of an internet through various kinds of networks. CONSTITUTION: After constructing an SIN(ships-in the night mode) environment by initializing a system, an RIB(routing information base) and an FIB(forwarding information base) using the RIB are formed through a routing protocol, and a look-up table is constructed. A label is distributed according to an allocation of label space after initializing. An upgrade process of routing protocol is performed after sending a changing message of label information at a change. When an IP(internet protocol) packet is received to the receiving waiting state of packet after constructing the look-up table, a packet classification and a prior grade process is stabled by checking a packet type, a label header and a stack. A check of a real service grade and a management according to the change of grade are performed, a label swapping is performed, and a packet cell is changed and transmitted through a connected ATM(asynchronous transfer mode) inner network, a link, and an outer switching path.
