최대 CID를 지정할 수 있는 AAL2 스위치의 설계

Design of a Max CID Assignable AAL2 Switch

This paper presents a hardware architecture of AAL(ATM Adaptation Layer) type 2 switch. The proposed architecture can assign and configure maximum AAL2 CID limit. AAL2 is the protocol which has been recommended by ITU-T and ATM-Forum for low bit rate delay sensitive services. The architecture assumes 155 Mbps STM-1/STS-3c physical interface, maximum VCC can be 64K connections. It can support maximum 16,384M AAL2 connections. For efficient use of peripheral memory, a concept of segment address was proposed. The proposed AAL2 switch hardware architecture can be used in ATM network as a standalone server or embedded module in a ATM switching system.
