Abstract: A network switch includes a plurality of cell processing units coupled together via a switch bus. In a preferred embodiment, the switch bus supports the peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus protocol. Each cell processing unit includes a segmentation and reassembly unit (SAR), a RISC processor, a port processor, and a bus control unit. The SAR generates cells from frames of data stored in memory and transfers those cells to a destination mailbox in response to commands from from the RISC processor. The SAR assembles a cell within an internal register by combining cell header information with payload data read from memory. Once a cell has been assembled, it is sent to the bus controller for transmission across the switch bus to an address given by a mailbox number. Cells are transferred across the switch bus using a PCI burst write to the mailbox. A reassembly function gathers 48-byte cells into one or more larger output buffers. Cell reassembly is triggered by another RISC processor command. During reassembly, cell header information is discarded and the data payload bytes are read to an internal buffer within the SAR. The payload data is then written to a memory location pointed to by a buffer memory pointer. The switch bus 14 is also used for the transfer of control information between configuration registers of the cell processing units 12.

Abstract translation: 网络交换机包括通过交换总线耦合在一起的多个小区处理单元。 在优选实施例中，交换总线支持外围组件互连（PCI）总线协议。 每个单元处理单元包括分段和重组单元（SAR），RISC处理器，端口处理器和总线控制单元。 SAR从存储在存储器中的数据帧生成单元，并根据来自RISC处理器的命令将这些单元传输到目标邮箱。 SAR通过将单元头信息与从存储器读取的有效载荷数据相结合，组合内部寄存器中的单元。 一旦单元组装完成，就将其发送到总线控制器，以便通过交换总线传输到由邮箱号码给出的地址。 使用对邮箱的PCI突发写入，单元通过交换总线传输。 重组功能将48字节的单元格收集到一个或多个较大的输出缓冲器中。 单元重组由另一个RISC处理器命令触发。 在重组期间，信元报头信息被丢弃，并且数据有效载荷字节被读取到SAR内的内部缓冲器。 然后将有效载荷数据写入缓冲存储器指针指向的存储单元。 开关总线14也用于在单元处理单元12的配置寄存器之间传送控制信息。

Abstract: A local time of a broadband loop carrier terminal is synchronized to a network time received from a source external to the broadband loop carrier terminal by comparing the local time to the network time to generate an error offset, and adjusting the local time based on the error offset. The network time may be received in response to a Network Time Protocol (NTP) poll transmitted by the broadband loop carrier terminal. In some cases, the poll is transmitted over a communication medium using an asynchronous packet protocol, such as Ethernet or TCP/IP. In one embodiment, the local time is based on the output of a local oscillator (e.g., a voltage controlled oscillator), the frequency of which may be adjusted using control logic which uses a filtered version of the error offset along with a factory calibration and/or temperature compensation to produce a control voltage to control the oscillator frequency.

Abstract: A telecommunications network having a ring topology overlaid with an Ethernet. An add/drop multiplexer (ADM) employing wave division multiplexing (WDM) hardware is implemented at each node of a multi-node fiber-based network. The ADM contains a robust protection scheme for reliability. The WDM allows the data traffic of the incumbent network, for example, a SONET network, to be carried over one or more frequencies while the data traffic of one or more packet-based networks may be carried over one or more other frequencies. Each ADM has protection switches, for example, micro-electromechanical switches. The protection switches provide a no-load bypass capability. A failed node can be shunted from the ring, allowing the Ethernet data to bypass the node uninterrupted. The switches also provide a self-test capability. The ADM interfaces can be checked by coupling the receiving path and the transmission path. This allows the ADM transceivers to communicate with each other.

Abstract: A system having a free space optical transmission capability for data and/or control interconnection is described. Switch cards, having corresponding pairs of laser transmitters and photodetectors are placed in a chassis, at each end, facing each other. Each laser transmitter/photodetector (LTPD) pair of one switch card is targeted to a corresponding photodetector/laser transmitter (PDLT) pair of the other. System line cards have a LTPD pair on one side and a PDLT pair on the other side. A line card is positioned in the chassis so that the LTPD pair is aligned with a corresponding PDLT pair on one switch card and the PDLT pair is aligned with a corresponding LTPD pair on the other switch card. The line card may, therefore, communicate with either switch card. The line cards contain apertures so that communication between other line cards and the switch cards is not obstructed.

Abstract: A communication bus snooper switch includes an inbound cell queue coupled to receive ATM cells from a number of ATM physical layer interfaces across a common inbound bus. An out-bound cell queue (which may be the same queue as the inbound cell queue when a dual port queue is used) is coupled to provide the ATM cells to separate ATM termination points according cell address information across separate out-bound busses. Each of the out-bound busses is associated with one of the ATM termination points. The snooper switch is configured to operate as an ATM bus master when communicating with the physical layer interfaces and as a ATM bus slave when communicating with the ATM termination points. During transmit operations, cells from the various ATM termination points are queued in corresponding transmission cell queues within the snooper switch and, thereafter, provided to the ATM physical layer interfaces according to an arbitration scheme implemented at the snooper switch.
