    Abstract: A network element (14) can be configured for connection to any portion of a communication network: access, transport and core (16) Moreover, a single network element can be configured to couple subscriber equipment directly to the core portion of the network, thereby permitting the subscriber to bypass the transport portion of the network. Specifically, such a network element can be configured to include a line unit that supports subscriber equipment (also called a "subscriber line unit"), and also to include a line unit to support a link to the core of the communication network (also called a "core line unit"). The subscriber line unit and core line unit are both installed in a single chassis, and each unit can be installed in any of a number of slots in the chassis. Moreover, when configured with appropriate line units, such a network element may support traditional circuit-switched telephony services while simultaneously delivering packet-based voice or data services. The network element (14) provides multi-class service over the entire range of the network because it employs a common switch fabric for handling both synchronous and asynchronous traffic over a common bus.

    Abstract: A transmission lines arrangement comprising a first plurality of transmission lines (I n1 ,._.,I nn ) each transmission line having an effective characteristic impedance (Z eff ). The arrangement further comprises a second plurality of transmission lines (0 1 ,,...,O m ), said first plurality of transmission lines being coupled to a plurality of switching elements (V - I conv ). The plurality of switching elements are conceived to redirect an input signal from one transmission line of the first plurality of transmission lines to at least one transmission line of the second plurality of transmission lines. The arrangement is characterized in that each of the switching elements of the plurality of switching elements have a relatively high input impedance in comparison with the effective characteristic impedance and a relatively high output impedance in comparison with the effective characteristic impedance. Furthermore, each transmission line of the first plurality of transmission lines is further coupled to an impedance that is substantially equal to the effective characteristic impedance of said transmission line.

    Abstract: An AAL2 path group (60) comprises plural AAL2 paths (35). Bandwidth of an individual AAL2 path comprising the AAL2 path group is contributed to a total bandwidth of the AAL2 path group rather than to the individual AAL2 path exclusively. An admission decision regarding a connection seeking to use an AAL2 path belonging to the AAL2 path group is based on available bandwidth of the AAL2 path group rather than available bandwidth of an individual AAL2 path. ATM VCCs which comprise the AAL2 path group are transported on a virtual path (VP) together with ATM VCCs of a different type (e.g., a second type which differs from a first type of ATM VCC which comprise the AAL2 path group). The AAL2 path group also features quality of service (QoS) separation, e.g., differing treatment for differing AAL2 connections within the AAL2 path group based on the QoS requirements for the differing AAL2 connections.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for alignment of TDM-based signals for packet transmission using framed and unframed operations are described. In an embodiment, a line card (502) in a network element includes a deframer (602) unit that receives a Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) signal. The TDM signal includes a payload and overhead data. The deframer (602) generates frame alignment data based on the overhead data. The line card (502) also includes a packet engine (604) unit coupled to the deframer (602). The packet engine (604) receives the payload, the overhead data and the frame alignment data and generates a number of packet engine packets. The packet engine packets represent a frame within the TDM signal such that the packet engine packet include the payload, the overhead data and the frame alignment data. Additionally, the line card (502) includes a packet processor (606) coupled to the deframer (602). The packet processor (606) receives the packet engine packets and generates network packets based on the packet engine packets.

    Abstract: The present invention is directed toward data packet transmission scheduling. Scheduling values, such as priority or other scheduling criteria assigned to data packets, are placed in a heap data structure(700). Packets percolate up through the heap by comparing their assigned values in pairs(816). Operations in the heap may be pipelined so as to provide for high-speed sorting(1000). Thus, a few relatively simple operations can be performed repeatedly to quickly percolate packets up trough the heap. Another aspect of the invention provides for fast traversal of the scheduling heap data structure. The hierarchical heap may include a highest level having a single position and each succeeding lower level having twice the number of positions as the preceding level(700). A binary number may represent each position in the heap(806). To traverse the heap, the relative movements necessary to move from one position to another may be determined from the binary number(818).
