Abstract

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a connection-oriented networking technology that supports transfer of data, video and voice. The ability to multiplex a large number of connections over a single physical link places high requirements for processing and memory management in ATM systems. The problem becomes more acute as ATM systems scale to both higher speeds and increased number of links. In this work, we analyze the memory management requirements imposed by the main ATM functions (segmentation and reassembly, flow control and selective discard) and identify a core set of operations whose fast execution leads to efficient memory subsystems for generic ATM systems (switches or adapters). We propose hardware architectures that implement this set of operations as well as a software implementation suitable for embedded systems. Finally, we present performance and cost measurements of the various implementations so that one can choose the implementation most suitable for one's target system.
