摘要:
Signal format conversion apparatus and methods involve converting data signals between a first signal format associated with a first reference clock rate and a second signal format that is different from the first signal format and is associated with a second reference clock rate different from the first reference clock rate. A period of the second signal format is changed to match a period of a third signal format by controlling a synchronized second reference clock rate that is applied in converting data signals between the first signal format and the second signal format. The synchronized second reference clock rate is different from the second reference clock rate and is synchronized with a third reference clock rate. The third reference clock rate is associated with the third signal format. Such synchronization simplifies conversion of signals between the second and third signal formats.

Despite a recent revision, IEEE 1588™-2008 does not provide a complete implementation for PTP (precision time protocol) that accounts for variable delays introduced by network components. According to a broad aspect, the present disclosure provides implementations that account for variable delays introduced by network components. Therefore, the amount of time that a packet spends in transit through a transparent clock can be accounted for. According to another broad aspect, there is provided a master-slave mode that allows a transparent clock to function as a master or a slave to another clock.

A method of manufacture a transport network system includes: receiving input data having an input encoding; generating encoded data, having a transcode encoding, from the input data; generating an error correction redundancy for the encoded data; and sending an output frame, having the encoded data and the error correction redundancy, for increasing a net coding gain of the output frame based on the transcode encoding and the error correction redundancy.

The rate-based scheduling for a network application is used to control the bandwidth available to a flow while scheduling the transmission of the flow. The rate-based scheduling uses rate credits to represent the amount of data a flow is permitted to transmit and only permits a flow to transmit if the flow has rate credit available. A flow is permitted to transmit only if the peak packet rate for the scheduler has not been exceeded.
摘要:
In a communication system that uses virtually concatenated payloads, techniques to determine when to declare and when to clear alarm indication signal (AIS) for a group. The declaration of AIS for a group may occur based on when declaration of AIS for a member of a group occurs. The clearing of group AIS may occur based on when clearing of AIS by a last member of a group to clear AIS occurs.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for processing at least two types of payloads received at varying intervals in a communications network using a single processing path is provided. The two types of payloads may include virtually and contiguously concatenated payloads according to SONET/SHD architecture. The method comprises assigning pseudo indices to payloads having no indices associated therewith and providing both sets of payloads, including indices and pseudo indices, to the single processing path.
摘要:
Memory access efficiency for packet applications may be improved by transferring full partitions of data. The number of full partitions written to external memory may be increased by temporarily storing packets using on-chip memory that is on a chip with the processor. Before writing packets to external memory, packets of length smaller than the external memory partition size may be temporarily stored in the on-chip memory until an amount corresponding to a full or nearly full partition has been collected, at which point the data can be efficiently written to an external memory partition.
