Scalable Optoelectronic ATM Networks: The iPOINT Fully Functional Testbed
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our prototype of a fully-functional Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) switch validates the design of a 128 Gb/s optoelectronic ATM switch. Optoelectronics, rather than all optical componets, are used to simutaneously address all of the speci c requirements mandated by the ATM protocol. In this paper, we present the Illinois Pulsar-based Optical Interconnect (iPOINT) testbed, and present our results obtained for the prototype switch in a working environment consisting of an optical network of Sun SPARCStations and other local and wide-area ATM switches.

متن کاملDesign and Implementation of a Multicast Input Buffered Atm Switch for the Ipoint Testbed
This thesis presents the design and implementation of the multicast, input-buuered Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) switch for use with the iPOINT testbed. The input-buuered architecture of this switch is optimal in terms of the memory bandwidth required for the implementation of an ATM queue module. The contention resolution algorithm used by the iPOINT switch supports atomic multicast, enabli...
