Design of the Receiver for AAL Type 2 Switch

AAL 유형 2 스위치용 수신부 설계

An existing ATM switch fabric uses VPI(Virtual Path Identifier) and VCI(Virtual Channel Identifier) information to route ATM cell. But AAL type 2 switch which efficiently processes delay-sensitive, low bit-rate data such as a voice routes the ATM cell by using CID(Channel Identification) field in addition to VPI and VCI. In this paper, we research the AAL type 2 switch that performs the process of CPS packet. The Receive unit extracts the CPS packet from the inputted ATM cell. The designed receive unit consists of input FIFO, r)( status table, CAM(Content Addressable Memory), new CID table and partial packet memory. Also the designed receive unit supports the PCI interface with host processor. The receive unit is implemented in Xilinx FPGA and operates at 72MHz.
