Abstract
As the edge router provides the facility that it is capable of interworking with various kinds of networks, the forwarding engine should have the flexibility processing the corresponding types of frames from such network interfaces. In order to support the flexibility, we design and implement a prototype of edge router with ATM and Ethernet interfaces based on the programmable Ethernet packet processor Our forwarding engine handles and forwards the frames from ATM interfaces by using loop-back functionality of Ethernet packet processor. The performance of our edge router is evaluated by experiments throughout its performance of forwarding engine and tested by interworking with another kinds of routers.
