EtherMap®-3FE Pt
OC-3/STM1 Ethernet over SONET/SDH Mapper (TXC-04247)
Summary
The EtherMap®-3FE Pt is a highly integrated EoS device that provides formapping of 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet into SONET/SDH STS-3/STM-1Transport payloads with extremely low latency throughput. The devicesupports connection for up to four 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet ports, using SMII interfaces. Ethernet frames are encapsulated using either GFP, LAPS,LAPF or PPP/BCP protocol. The encapsulated Ethernet frames are thenmapped into either virtually concatenated low or high order payloads, suchas VT1.5 SPE/VT2 SPE/VC-11/VC-12/STS-1 SPE/VC-3, or into contiguously concatenated payloads such as STS-3c SPE/VC-4. Low and high order SONET/SDH POH generation and processing/termination is performed. A Telecom Bus provides the SONET/SDH interface. In addition to support for full-rate Ethernet transfer, over-subscribed Ethernet transfers are also supported using back pressure mechanisms (half and full duplex flow control) in order to prevent frame loss.Configurable external SDRAM is used for buffering Ethernet frames tosupport bandwidth oversubscription, highly bursty traffic and flow control operation. Buffers are used as well for receive SONET/SDH container alignment and differential delay compensation of low and high order virtually concatenated payloads. For both low and high order virtually concatenated payloads, optional on-chip standards based LCAS processing is provided to allow hitless dynamic bandwidth adjustments. A powerful hardware and RTOS independent EtherMap® family device driver provides full access to all the features of the device through APIs. It utilizes matched get/set functions and can be easily ported.
