A method, system, and apparatus for parsing incoming frames; classifying the frames by information contained in a header of the ethernet frame; and performing an action on the classification.

Method, system, and apparatus for packet transmission

A system, method, and apparatus enabling synchronous and asynchronous data sources to be demapped from an oFrame container using a generic mapping system.

System, method, and apparatus for mapping synchronous and asynchronous data

A method, system, and apparatus for transmitting information over an coherent optical link comprising enabling synchronous and asynchronous data sources to be mapped together into a single payload using a generic mapping system which performs decoupling of a clock from each data source, and mapping data from each data source into a tributary of an oFrame.

A system and method are provided for communicating TDM communications through a packet switch fabric. The method comprises: accepting native TDM frames; converting the native TDM frames to fabric-cellified TDM frames; differentiating the cells of each frame into time slots; interleaving the frame time slots; TDM scheduling the interleaved frame time slots; and, routing the interleaved frame time slots between input port cards and output port cards on backplane data links through an intervening crossbar. TDM scheduling the interleaved frame time slots includes: an input port card ingress memory subsystem (iMS) receiving a first TDM configuration schedule including interleaved frame time slots cross-referenced to backplane transmission times; and, an output port card egress MS (eMS) receiving a second TDM configuration schedule including interleaved frame time slots cross-referenced to egress channel transmission times. Then, the routing is performed in response to the TDM schedules.

System and method for communicating TDM traffic through a packet switch fabric

An encoder/decoder is disclosed which is operative to convert an 8 bit value to a ten bit serial run length limited code for transmission over a serial data link. The encoding technique maintains DC balance within 2 bits over a single ten bit word and compensates for DC imbalance by inverting selected words in the transmission sequence to correct for a DC imbalance resulting from the transmission of a prior unbalanced word. One or more encoding lookup tables are employed at the encoder to map each byte into a ten bit run length limited code for serialization and transmission over the serial data link. A second decoding lookup table is employed at the decoder to map the received 10 bit run length limited code into the original 8 bit value.
