摘要： The use of Ethernet as an underlying transport for Fiber Channel (FC) frames is disclosed in the Fiber Channel Over Ethernet (FCOE) protocol. In FCOE, the FC physical layer and part of the FC-2 link layer are replaced with the Ethernet physical and link layers. Each FC frame is encapsulated within an Ethernet Frame. The payload of the FCOE frame contains type information from the FC Start Of Frame (SOF) indicator, the FC header, an optional FC payload, and type information from the FC End Of Frame (EOF) indicator. In one embodiment, an Ethernet network carrying FCOE replaces a standard FC network. In another embodiment, devices implementing FCOE may be implemented in a blade server. The entire backplane is Ethernet, over which both storage and networking traffic can be run. The Ethernet links are connected to an Ethernet switch, a FCOE/FC converter, and a FC switch.

摘要： Consistent with the present disclosure, client data, which may include multiplexed data sub-streams, is supplied to an ingress node of a network. Each sub-stream typically has a corresponding data rate, i.e., an original data rate, prior to multiplexing. The client data is encapsulated in a plurality of successive frames that are output from the ingress node and propagate, typically through one or more intermediate nodes, to an egress node. At the egress node, data rates associated with the sub-streams included in each frame are determined based on the amount of client data in each frame. The data rates are then averaged over a given number of frames to thereby filter any wander or deviation in the client data rate. Based on the averaged data rate, justification opportunities are added to the client data in each sub-stream, which are then multiplexed into frames that are output from the egress node. By including the justification opportunities, the effective rate of each sub-stream may be set equal to the original data rate when the sub-streams are demultiplexed after being output from the egress node. An advantage of the present disclosure is that the justification opportunities, are not generated based solely on clock signals generated by PLL circuits. As a result, fewer PLL circuits are required, thereby simplifying system design and minimizing power consumption.

摘要翻译： 根据本公开，可以将包括多路复用数据子流的客户端数据提供给网络的入口节点。 每个子流在复用之前通常具有对应的数据速率，即原始数据速率。 客户端数据被封装在从入口节点输出并且通常通过一个或多个中间节点传播到出口节点的多个连续帧中。 在出口节点处，基于每帧中的客户端数据的量来确定与包括在每个帧中的子流相关联的数据速率。 然后在给定数量的帧上对数据速率进行平均，从而过滤客户端数据速率中的任何漂移或偏差。 基于平均数据速率，将每个子流中的客户端数据加入调整机会，然后将其合并到从出口节点输出的帧中。 通过包括调整机会，在从出口节点输出之后子流被解复用时，每个子流的有效速率可被设置为等于原始数据速率。 本公开的优点在于，调整机会不是仅仅由PLL电路产生的时钟信号产生。 因此，需要更少的PLL电路，从而简化系统设计并最大限度地降低功耗。

摘要： Examples are disclosed for forwarding cells of partitioned data through a three-stage memory-memory-memory (MMM) input-queued Clos-network (IQC) packet switch. In some examples, each module of the three-stage MMM IQC packet switch includes a virtual queue and a manager that are configured in cooperation with one another to forward a cell from among cells of partitioned data through at least a portion of the switch. The cells of partitioned data may have been partitioned and stored at an input port for the switch and have a destination of an output port for the switch.

摘要： Systems and methods for modeling a bus for a system design are provided. In an embodiment, the method operates by accepting a virtual bus model, wherein the model simulates behavior for a bus master and slave device, such that the model accurately simulates the timing and behavior of the transfer of data from master to slave, and, from slave to master devices. The method routes a transaction issued by the master device to the slave device. The transaction has storage for transaction data, or a pointer to transaction data, to be transferred through the transaction. The transaction data is transferred in one or more data payloads and the sender of data sets the length of data payloads to be returned. The data payloads are sent from the sender of data to the receiver of data and may contain one or more bus data beats. This method accurately models the bus timing and behavior of the delivery of one or more data beats as one data payload.
