A method and system for providing Layer 1 time division multiplexing (TDM) framing, multiplexing, and mapping as well as Layer 2 data and protocol processing. One embodiment of the invention provides an integrated Layer1/Layer2 service aggregator within a single-device. Such an embodiment provides a complete System-on-Chip implementation for clear channel and deeply channelized OC-48 (STM-16), 4&#xd7;OC12/3 (STM4/1) application of 2,000 channels or more. One embodiment implements functionality of Layer2 data and protocol processing as well as Layer1 TDM framing, multiplexing and mapping. For one embodiment, target applications include packet-based transport systems, multi-service access and metro systems, switches and routers and ADM/MSPP systems.

Systems and methods for providing framing mapping, muxing and data processing

A method and system for providing multi-channel circuit emulation clock recovery wherein a single instance of the clock recovery logic effects circuit emulation clock recovery for multiple channels. For one embodiment of the invention, fine tuning clocking is effected by comparing an outgoing clock with a recovered clock and switching a clock recovery mechanism, the switching performed in conjunction with a multi-channel context.

Methods and apparatuses for circuit emulation multi-channel clock recovery

A system and method for processing an extremely high data rate datastream. Embodiments of the invention provide methods for performing various operations on the datastream in order to map the datastream from one protocol to another as well as providing methods for processing multiple channels of a given protocol. For one embodiment of the invention a portion of a datastream is received to a stream buffer. A data stream window is then created from the received portion, the data stream window containing data of more than one protocol. A corresponding portion of the data of a same protocol, is accessed through each of a plurality of processing machines. The accessed data is concurrently processed at each of the processing machines.

Methods and apparatuses for processing data channels

A method and apparatus is disclosed for interfacing an asynchronous network with a synchronous network and in particular for efficiently utilizing available bandwidth of a synchronous network transmit opportunity. In one embodiment asynchronous traffic arrives via an asynchronous network at a network device, such as a switch, for transmission over a synchronous network. The traffic is parsed into cells and after switching, a reassembly unit is provided for processing one or more cells buckets. Write operations occur based on an ingress pointer while read operations are controlled by an egress pointer. Upon occurrence of a transmit opportunity on the synchronous network, the entire bandwidth of the transmit opportunity is utilized by loading awaiting cells from bucket memory on to the synchronous network. Sufficient cells are stored in memory between the memory locations identified by the ingress pointer and the egress pointer to insure total utilization of transmit opportunity bandwidth.

Pseudo synchronous machine

System and method for dynamically altering bandwidth allocation to each region serviced by a network. Each region is allocated an initial estimated bandwidth on the network and compares instantaneous demand against the allocation. When demand falls below the allocation, the region releases bandwidth so other regions can take advantage of that bandwidth. When demand exceeds the allocation, the region takes advantage of bandwidth released by other regions.

Dynamic bandwidth allocation for wide area networks

A link layer controller comprises a network layer interface, a physical layer interface, and a memory controller. The network layer interface exchanges packets with the network layer system and transfers a status signal to the network layer system. The physical layer interface exchanges the packets with the physical layer system. The memory controller exchanges the packets with the network layer interface, a memory, and the physical layer interface. The memory controller also generates the status signal to indicate available space in the memory.
