چکیده
Network processors offer a new flexibility for network applications and reduce the time to market for data processing systems. In this paper, we describe the changed development process of the data plane using the Motorola C-5 Network Processor. We implemented a Resilient Packet Ring line card for a SDH cross connect. We show a solution for the support of different Quality of Service classes with a Network Processor and to achieve the necessary system stability. Additionally we carried out some simulations to verify the performance of a fairness algorithm over the ring and the system behavior. Keywords—Network processors, High-speed LAN, Quality of Service, Simulation

متن کاملCongestion Domain Boundaries in Resilient Packet Rings
In June 2004, the IEEE approved a new standard for Resilient Packet Rings (RPR). The standard is maintained in the 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee, and is designated the standard number 802.17. In this paper, we analyze and discuss performance aspects of the Resilient Packet Ring fairness mechanism. We explain that, if the ring is not configured correctly, the fairness mechanism fails to stabil...
متن کاملAchieving destination differentiation in ingress aggregated fairness for resilient packet rings by weighted destination based fair dropping
The IEEE 802.17 is a standardized ring topology network architecture, called the Resilient Packet Ring (RPR), to be used mainly in metropolitan and wide area networks. This paper introduces destination differentiation in ingress aggregated fairness for RPR and focuses on the RPR MAC client implementation of the IEEE 802.17 RPR MAC in the aggressive mode of operation. It also introduces an enhan...

متن کاملPID-RPR: A High Performance Bandwidth Allocation Approach for RPR Networks
Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) is a new technology currently being standardized in the IEEE 802.17 working group. The existed bandwidth allocation algorithms for RPR networks are not able to provide satisfactory solutions to meet the performance requirements. In this paper we propose one fair bandwidth allocation algorithm, termed PID-RPR, which satisfies the performance goals of RPR networks, suc...
