    摘要: A differential receiver incorporated into a MAU which receives both Manchester packets and linkpulses according to the IEEE 802.3 10Base-T standard has polarity detection and correction circuit for automatically detecting a reversed polarity for RD input lines. The differential receiver samples incoming pulses for time, amplitude and pulse width qualification and makes a preliminary polarity determination based upon polarity of such qualified pulses. This preliminary polarity allows a linktest state machine to transition to a link.sub.-- pass state, enabling output drivers of the MAU. Additionally, the linkpulse polarity information initially makes a polarity determination for the entire differential receiver which asserts a FIX POLARITY signal. The FIX POLARITY signal controls a correction circuit which internally remedies reversed input lines. Preferably, the correction circuit internally reroutes the signals. An ETD polarity circuit makes polarity determinations from any ETD information received, as effected by the correction circuit. The ETD polarity circuit independently controls the linkpulse polarity determinations and conflicting determinations are resolved in favor of the ETD polarity circuit. Upon detecting two consecutive, consistent valid ETDs, the ETD polarity circuit locks-in the polarity determinations until a reset or a linkfail condition. The correction circuit effects both Manchester packets and linkpulses, so an incorrectly locked polarity will produce inverted linkpulses which will not allow the MAU to remain in the link.sub.-- pass state. In the linkfail state, the MAU may reestablish the correct polarity.

    摘要: An integrated media attachment unit (MAU) operative for interfacing Digital Terminal Equipment (DTE) on a Local Area Network (LAN) using twisted pair media. The twisted pair function as either a DTE MAU or a repeater MAU. A line driver for the twisted pair differential signal provides a ramped response with low jitter while an improved Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) driver uses CMOS technology and provides simplified End-of-Transmission Delimiter (ETD) control. The twisted pair MAU includes a combined override and status indication of link status and an additional feature to allow automatic polarity reversal of differential signal input lines and polarity status signalling.

    摘要: A method and system for implementing weighted fair flow control on a metropolitan area network. Weighted fair flow control is implemented using a plurality of metro packet switches (MPS), each including a respective plurality of virtual queues and a respective plurality of per flow queues. Each MPS accepts data from a respective plurality of local input flows. Each local input flow has a respective quality of service (QoS) associated therewith. The data of the local input flows are queued using the per flow queues, with each input flow having its respective per flow queue. Each virtual queue maintains a track of the flow rate of its respective local input flow. Data is transmitted from the local input flows of each MPS across a communications channel of the network and the bandwidth of the communications channel is allocated in accordance with the QoS of each local input flow. The QoS is used to determine the rate of transmission of the local input flow from the per flow queue to the communications channel. This implements an efficient weighted bandwidth utilization of the communications channel. Among the plurality of MPS, bandwidth of the communications channel is allocated by throttling the rate at which data is transmitted from an upstream MPS with respect to the rate at which data is transmitted from a downstream MPS, thereby implementing a weighted fair bandwidth utilization of the communications channel.

    摘要: In a metropolitan area network, a method and system for maintaining an accurate total of the amount of allocated bandwidth on the network. A plurality of incoming packets are assigned to a respective plurality of queues of a metropolitan area network switch. Using a fair arbitration scheme, the respective queues are configured to empty at a specified output rate. A finish time for each respective queue is computed, the finish time describing a time at which the respective queue will be emptied using the output rate. The plurality of queues are grouped into multiple groups in accordance with their respective finish times. The earliest group includes the reserved rates of those queues having a finish time indicating an empty condition at a first time increment. The second earliest group includes the reserved rates of those queues having a finish time indicating an empty condition at a second time increment later than the first time increment, and so on. The amount of allocated bandwidth on the network is determined by tracking the sum of the reserved rates of all the multiple groups. The first time increment, second time increment, and the like are indexed with respect to a schedule clock. The earliest group thus indicates those queues that will have an empty condition at a next time increment of the schedule clock. The determination of the amount of allocated bandwidth can be accomplished in real time, thereby allowing the efficient allocation of unallocated bandwidth in real time.

    摘要: An asynchronous metropolitan packet transport ring having per-flow QoS. Asynchronous packetized data flow in one direction through a fiber optic loop. A number of Metropolitan Packet Switches (MPS) are coupled to the fiber optic loop. An MPS allows packetized data from an upstream MPS to flow to a downstream MPS over a segment of the fiber optic loop. The MPS also puts packetized data onto and pulls packetized data off of the fiber optic loop. Thereby, flows can access the fiber optic loop via the MPS's. The MPS's also regulate the data rates on a per-flow basis according to setup information supplied by a Ring Management System (RMS). If one segment of the fiber loop becomes overly congested, the MPS guarantees quality of service for those flows by deallocating available bandwidth from flows upstream to the point of congestion. Utilization of packet transport ring capacity is optimized by allocating any bandwidth that becomes available to active flows according to a pre-specified weighting scheme.
