    摘要: Techniques are described herein that may be used to buffer traffic received at a communications device. For example, a buffer external from a traffic processor may be used to buffer traffic in ingress or egress directions. For example, a bandwidth in each of directions of to and from the buffer may be less than a sum of maximum bandwidths in ingress and egress directions. For example, a single memory interface may be used to communicatively couple the buffer and the traffic processor.

    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.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for transferring data traffic, such as in a SONET/SDH environment, is provided. Two designs are presented, each utilizing a dual device design, where one device performs GFP Framing and the other device performs GFP-T adaptation. The method and apparatus include a first device having a first device FIFO, the first device configured to receive data and assemble data into packets and transfer data across a packet interface when the first device FIFO contains more than N bytes. A second device comprises a second device FIFO, the second device configured to receive data packets from the packet interface and utilize a plurality of thresholds to maintain a quantity of data in the second device FIFO within a predetermined range. Depending on the design employed, control codes, such as 65B_PAD control codes, may be added in the first device under certain conditions to facilitate data transfer.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for managing memory for time division multiplexed high speed data traffic is provided. The method and apparatus utilize an interleaving approach in association with multiple memory banks, such as within SDRAM, to perform highly efficient data reading and writing. The design issues a first command or access command, such as a read command or write command to one memory bank, followed by an active command to a second memory bank, enabling efficient reading and writing in a multiple data flow environment, such as a SONET/SDH virtual concatenation environment using differential delay compensation.

    摘要: 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.
