ATM switching Ram Dantu Introduction Important characteristics switching speed potential to lose cells Must minimize queuing and switching delay Line rates may be 150Mbps Available switching rates are ~80Gbps Switch Positioning /solutions/wired/atm/fabric.html Switch Fabric Components of a switch which include its hardware and software General switch operation routing table self routing new header inserted in outbound cell ATM Routing Operations Switching System Architectures Functional Requirements Model Input modules Output Modules Switch Fabric Connection Admission Control System Management Generic Switch [Block Diagram] Generic Switch Administration Module Input Module Extract from SONET Optical - electronic-bit stream Process SONET overhead Cell Delineation and HEC Discard empty cells Prepare to Route Check errors, VPI/VCI Signaling-CAC? Management-SM? Policing Internal tag [for routing and performance monitoring] Output Module Prepare ATM cell stream for transmission remove/process internal tag translation of VPI/VCI values HEC field generation mixing of cells from CAC, SM and data cell rate decoupling mapping to SONET/SDH conversion to optical signal CAC Establishes, modifies and terminates virtual path/channel connections. Responsible for: high layer signaling protocols signaling AAL functions to interpret/generate signaling cells interface to signaling network negotiation of traffic contracts with user renegotiation with users to change established VP/VCs switch resource allocation route selection admit/reject requests generation of UPC/NPC parameters Switch Fabric Function Routing of cells from I/P to O/P Potential Features Cell buffering Traffic concentration and multiplexing Fault tolerance Multicast and Broadcast support Cell scheduling Discard Congestion Monitoring Switch Fabric Responsible for routing cells between the other switch sections. Also: cell buffering traffic concentration and multiplexing redundancy and fault tolerance multicasting and
