    摘要: A packet switching equipment and a switch control system employing the same performs operation of the switch core portion independent of content of decision of an arbiter portion and overall equipment can be constructed with simple control structure. The packet switching equipment includes input buffer portions temporarily storing packets arriving to the input ports and outputting packets with adding labels indicative of destination port numbers, a switch core portion for switching the packets on the basis of labels added to the input buffer portions, and an arbiter portion adjusting input buffer portions to provide output permissions for outputting to the output ports. A sorting network autonomously sorting and concentrating the packets on the basis of the labels added to the packets is employed in the switch core portion.

    摘要: A switching system for realizing integration of existing communication networks or interconnections thereof, and a switching control method. After a call is originated from an ATM communication network 101 to an STM communication network 102, an ATMIF 20 that has received a connection request signal (control signal) converts the control signal into a format of an ATM cell 1000, adds a header destined to one of SIG 50-1 to n for processing control signals, and then output the same. An ATMSW 10 performs self-routing based on header information. The selected one of the SIG 50-1 to n performs conversion for the ATM cell 1000 by a specified protocol, makes an ATM cell 1100 having a header destined to one of CLP 630-1 to k for processing control signals, and then output the same. Upon having received the ATM cell 1100, the CLP 630 links up with other processors to perform call connection control, functions having been dispersed among the other processors.

    摘要: An ATM switch with multicast capability uses a feedback mechanism for resolving contentions. A multicast network reads N cells from an input queue, replicates multicast cells and translates their addresses in accordance with an external look-up table. The processed N cells are stored in a temporary buffer until information regarding the number (F) of cells fed back due to contention in the previous switching cycle is available. A rotator positions N-F cells from the temporary buffer on inputs of an output network so as to assign the cells from the temporary buffer a lower priority than a priority of the feed back cells. The output network selects the cells that can be switched to their destinations and transfers them to output ports. The cells that cannot be switched due to contention are fed back to be presented for the output network consideration in the next switching cycle. At the same time, a pointer of the input queue is decremented by a factor depending on the number of feedback cells, and the number of multicast and unicast cells in the current switching cycle.

    摘要: A switching network having a sorting network followed by a plurality of routing networks for routing packets from a plurality of inputs to a plurality of outputs in accordance with destination addresses specified by the packets includes a reservation ring mechanism for resolving conflicts among inputs contending for access to identical outputs. This reservation ring mechanism performs a sequence of step and compare operations in top-to-bottom ring-like order during one or more arbitration cycles for granting contending inputs access to the outputs for which those inputs are contending in top-to-bottom order. Each of the routing networks can route packets from any input to any output, so up to k packets are routed to each output during each arbitration cycle, where k equals the number of routing networks that are employed.

    摘要: A growable packet switching arrangement where the distribution network blocking probability is substantially reduced because the network has both switch links and chute links, and the network nodes include both a switching element interconnecting successive stage switch links and a plurality of non-switching, chute connections interconnecting successive stage chute links. A network node can transfer a packet, being received on a switch link, to any selected one of the chute connections of that node for transmission on a chute link. The network nodes are relatively simple and inexpensive because they store only the first few bits needed to route an ATM cell. The blocking probability is further reduced when the number of chutes per node is increased. The number of chutes may be based, for example, on the number of switch link inputs per node.

    摘要: An LED pulse shaping circuit is disclosed which is capable of providing improved rise time (using current peaking) and fall time (using charge extraction). The pulse shaping circuit consists of a conventional differential current switch coupled to a pair of switching elements and resistance elements. A first switching element is activated at the beginning of a pulse to provide for an initially increased drive current to the LED, the value of a first resistance element used to determined the level of the increased drive current. The current peaking thus results in decreasing the rise time of the LED. The remaining switching element and resistance are utilized, in conjunction with the differential current switch, to provide a reverse current flow through the LED at the end of the pulse. The charge extraction thus results in decreasing the fall time of the LED.

    摘要: A cell for use in a packet switching network. The cell comprises an input for receiving a packet including a destination address and first and second outputs. The cell includes a selection circuit for connecting the input with the first output or the second output depending on whether a specific bit occupying a predetermined position in the packet address is a logic "1" or a logic "0". Illustratively, the specific bit is the first bit after a start bit of the packer and each of the cells includes means for rotating the specific bit to the end of the address. This is especially useful for implementing a banyan network wherein the k.sup.th column of cells the routing decision is based on the k.sup.th most significant bit of the address, as the address bit rotation mechanism can be used to ensure that the first bit after the start bit of a packet is the k.sup.th most significant address bit. Preferably, each of the cells may be disabled in response to a disabling signal so that the input is connected to the first or second output independently of the logic value of the specific bit. This permits a packet switching network to be formed from interconnected horizontal and vertical stacks of chips wherein selected cells are disabled.
