Description
The present invention relates generally to a kind of apparatus and method that in the ATM(Asynchronous Transfer Mode) switch, are used to provide frame rate (GFR) business that to guarantee.
The frame rate that can guarantee (GFR) business is to be used for supporting the non real-time in the ATM net to use.It is to design for such application: this application may need a minimum-rate to guarantee and can acquire benefit in the dynamically available additional bandwidth from access network.Professional different with Available Bit Rate (ABR), GFR does not need to adhere to a flow control protocol.Carry out professional the assurance according to AAL-5PDU (ATM Adaptation Layer 5 protocol data unit frame).Here, a frame is meant a unit, and this unit bundlees a plurality of cells so that it is launched on an emission circuit.Use a specific frame though which place, AAL sublayer the frame structure variation is depended at, a frame generally comprises a PDU header, a PDU payload, and a PDU telegram end., can not handle such frame structure at the ATM layer.Therefore, come last cell of a frame of mark so that discern this frame by payload type field PT with an atm cell header.
Under congested condition, network is not in the cell level but at frame level dropped cell.Therefore, the frame rate that can guarantee (GFR) business need is organized user data cell according to the frame form that can be depicted on the ATM layer.After setting up a GFR connection, an ends with system regulation Peak Cell Rate (PCR) and a minimum cell rate (MCR), this MCR and a maximum frame length (MFS), that is, the cell maximum number of each frame is prescribed together.The user can always send cell with a speed that is equivalent to Peak Cell Rate (PCR), but network only is responsible for transmitting cell with minimum cell rate (MCR) according to the form of complete frame.The business that surpasses MCR will be transmitted in the available resources limit.
Top business guarantees to mean that then the user will look forward to seeing that this frame is transmitted with minimal losses if the user sends the frame that is no more than MCR.The GFR business also allows the user to send when MCR is excessive, but this extra business will only be transmitted in the limit of available resources.In addition, this business regulation can reach shared to a justice of useful source from each user's excessive traffic.
The user can send unmarked or markd frame.A untagged frame is such frame, and all therein cells make CLP (cell loss priority)=0, and a underlined frame is such frame, and all therein cells make CLP=1.By sending a underlined frame, the user shows that to network such frame is more less important than a untagged frame.Minimum cell rate (MCR) guarantees only to be applied on the untagged frame.(for the exchange pseudo channel: SVC) or by subscribing (for Permanent Virtual Channel: PVC) user's request marks option, then network only is allowed to the cell in the mark untagged frame if by signaling.When being set to 1, its CLP bit of network then claim a cell to be labeled.Otherwise, can not use by the mark that network carries out.Current and since in virtual route connects frame describe normally sightless, so the GFR class of business only is applied to during pseudo channel connects.
The frame rate of guaranteeing (GFR) business that two versions are arranged here, GFR.1 and GFR.2.They are in difference aspect processing cell loss priority (CLP) bit of a Generic Cell Rate Algorithm based on frame (F-GCRA) test.In GFR.1, transmit the CLP bit and do not allow mark by network readezvous point ground.In the GFR.2 version, this mark is allowed to and each cell meets F-GCRA.
The details of relevant GFR business is available in by the atm forum of the Internet.As a reference, referring to " service management standard design 4.1 ".
In the GFR.2 version, if network can mark can not be by those frames of F-GCRA test, then according to the state of frame and network, can describe to guarantee the frame that transmits by their CLP bit network.If it is feasible that such frame is described, can there be system to realize selecting here in enforcement simplicity and aspect of performance.Yet as in GFR.1, if network can not mark, network must rely on the CLP bit of user's mark to describe the frame that can guarantee.If a cell is consistent with a business contract that is preset by network, then this cell is conforming, and if a cell is not consistent with this business contract, then this cell is nonconforming.Then, in network, do not allow not describe this nonuniformity cell under the situation of mark, therefore make to be difficult to handle this nonuniformity cell.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a kind of apparatus and method, it is used in different output buffer queues providing the GFR business effectively at ATM by discerning between a consistency cell and nonuniformity cell and they being stored in according to network characteristic.

When in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, from following detailed explanation, reaching other purposes, characteristics and advantage above the present invention will become apparent, in the accompanying drawing:
Fig. 1 is the block diagram as the professional generator of the described ATM GFR of the embodiment of the invention;
Fig. 2 is a flow chart, has illustrated a cell uniformity test program in the professional generator of described ATM GFR as the embodiment of the invention; And,
Fig. 3 has illustrated a consistency cell and the nonuniformity cell in the professional generator of described ATM GFR as the embodiment of the invention.
Below a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.For clear, do not write up function or the structure known, on unnecessary details because they will make the present invention unclear.
Fig. 1 is the professional generator of frame rate (GFR) that can guarantee as the described a kind of ATM of the embodiment of the invention and the block diagram of method.
About Fig. 1, professional generator of ATM GFR of the present invention and method comprise a cell consistency part 100 and a cache management part 110.Cell consistency part 100 comprises that a cell uniformity test device 101 and a consistency bit (CB) that is connected on this cell uniformity test device 101 are provided with device 102.Cache management part 110 comprises that being connected to the consistency bit is provided with a cell distributor 111 on the device 102, is connected to a buffer queue 113 on the cell distributor 111, and a queue controller 112 that is used to control buffer queue 113.
Relevant pre-definite service parameter of each cell of the incoming frame that GFR of cell uniformity test device 101 tests connects.For example, Generic Cell Rate Algorithm (GCRA) will be described after a while, cell loss priority (CLP) bit, and maximum frame length (MFS).In above-mentioned document " Traffic Management Specification DraftVersion 41 ", disclosed the notion of cell uniformity test.
For clear understanding theme of the present invention, will describe the cell uniformity test in detail with reference to figure 2.At first use description to the service parameter and the algorithm of cell uniformity test.
A service parameter has been described the inherent characteristic of an information source.It can be quantitative or qualitative.The typical services parameter comprises Peak Cell Rate (PCR), Sustainable Cell Rate (SCR), minimum cell rate (MCR), and maximum frame length (MFS).A kind of definition of PCR is the inverse of minimum interaction time of advent of the cell within the frame.
Postpone to change by introducing cell, the ATM layer operation (for example; Cell is multiplexing) can change the traffic performance of connection.When the cell from two or more connections was re-used, the cell of a given connection may be delayed, and the output at multiplexer inserts the cell that another one connects again simultaneously.Similarly, some cell may be delayed and physical layer overhead or OAM (operational administrative and management) cell is inserted into.Therefore about peak of radiation time interval T (that is, the inverse of the PCR of contract), when at UNI (User Network Interface) when locating to monitor, some randomnesss may influence the reaching interactive time between the consecutive cell of a connection.The upper limit of " piece (clumping) " is measured as cell and postpones to change tolerance limit (CDVT).
GCRA is used to define the consistency about business contract.For the arrival of each cell, this GCRA determines whether this cell meets the business contract of this connection.GCRA is a kind of virtual scheduling algorithm or a kind of continuous state infundibulate algorithm well known in the art.OCRA is used to define the relation between Peak Cell Rate (PCR) and the cell delay variation tolerance limit (CDVT), and the relation between SCR and the tolerance limit of bursting (BT).Have two parameters and define OCRA: increment (I) and limiting value (L)." (I, L) " is meant to have incrementation parameter value that equals I and the Generic Cell Rate Algorithm that the extreme parameter values that equals L is set is set GCRA notion.
The GFR conformance definition is based on respect to the consistency of each cell of a frame of following condition.If all cells in this frame all are conforming, then a frame is conforming, if but its one or more cells are nonuniformities, then it is nonconforming.
If following three conditions all meet, then a user to produce cell be conforming:
This cell meet GCRA (1/PCR, CDVT).
2. the CLP bit of this cell has the identical value of CLP bit with first cell of this frame.
Last cell of this cell or this frame or, equal or comprise that cell number in this frame of this cell is less than MFS.
Fig. 2 is a flow chart, has illustrated in the cell uniformity test device 101 of Fig. 1 a GFR cell uniformity test at each cell of an incoming frame.
With reference to figure 2, after cell arrives, according to having the parameter 1/PCR that indicates increment size and limiting value respectively and the GCRA of CDVT, cell uniformity test device 101 these cells of test in the step 210.Be a CLP=0+1 cell flow (that is a cell flow that, has CLP=0 or 1) definition PCR here.1/PCR represent the Expected Arrival Time of next cell and after each cell of a frame arrives with its renewal.The up-down error boundary of CDVT regulation 1/PCR.If each cell arrives in the CDVT, then this cell meets GCRA.Then, program forwards step 220 to.
If cell is first cell of this frame in step 220, then cell uniformity test device 101 is registered the CLP bit of this first cell in an internal register in step 221.If cell is not first cell of this frame in step 220, then in step 222 cell uniformity test device 101 determine the CLP bit of these cells whether have be registered in internal register in the identical value of CLP bit of first cell.
If in step 222, the CLP bit of this cell is conforming, and then cell uniformity test device 101 determines whether this cell is last cell of this frame in step 230.If this cell is not last cell of this frame, then whether cell uniformity test device 101 is determined to the cell number received so far less than MFS in step 231.After cell arrived, whether the number of determining the cell before then received less than MFS, if cell number less than MFS, then this unit meets the test of MFS.If cell number is greater than MFS, then this cell does not meet this MFS test.If cell is last cell of this frame, then this cell also meets MFS.
During all conditions above cell meets, then say that in step 240 cell is conforming.If in step 210,222 and 231, do not satisfy at least one condition, be this element definitions nonconforming then in step 241.
The GCRA Test Application is arrived each cell.Therefore, even exceed under the situation of congestion threshold value a cell arrival, as long as cell satisfies top condition, this cell is also protected this cell as other cells of this frame.
Return Fig. 1, if with respect to algorithm and service parameter, each cell of incoming frame all passes through the cell uniformity test, then by a consistency path this cell consistency bit of feeding is provided with device 102.If this frame has at least one cell not by this cell uniformity test, then the consistency bit of feeding of the cell in this frame is provided with device 102 by a nonuniformity path 104.
The consistency bit is provided with device 102 highest significant position (MSB) of a header ERROR CONTROL (HEC) field in the header of each cell in the frame that receives by consistency path 103 is set to CB (consistency bit)=0 (low).A cell with CB=0 is a consistency cell.The MSB that the consistency bit is provided with the HEC field in the header of each unit in the frame that device 102 receives by nonuniformity path 104 is set to CB=1 (height).A cell with CB=1 is a nonuniformity cell.Because the cell cell Test Application of relevant service parameter GCRA, CLP bit and MFS each cell in the frame, one frame interior CB in place has identical value.
Fig. 3 has illustrated a consistency cell and the nonuniformity cell in the professional generator of described ATM GFR as the embodiment of the invention.The MSB of the field HEC of a cell header represents CB.If the CB=0 of a cell, then it is a consistency cell.If the CB=1 of a cell, then it is a nonuniformity cell.The consistency bit is provided with device 102 each cell that has the CB that is set to zero or in the frame is transmitted to buffer queue 110.
The cell distributor 111 of cache management part 110 is assigned to a high-priority queue 114 and a Low Priority Queuing 115 respectively to cell with CB=0 and the cell with CB=1.In view of the CB value in a frame identical, so be that unit is assigned to high Low Priority Queuing 114 and 115 to cell with the frame unit.
, if the cell-queue's value that is assigned to Low Priority Queuing 115 greater than congested queue depth, so all cells all can not be launched with the available bandwidth institute allowed cell rate of network.Therefore, queue controller 110 be discarded in this frame level place cell, thereby the operation of supervising the network (transmission rate).The cell of being abandoned in the frame does not represent that all cells in the frame abandon simultaneously, but frame that it determines to abandon and determine that according to the CLP bit selectivity of the unit in this frame abandons.During traffic congestion in network, queue controller 110 is at first abandoned the cell of CLP=1 and is protected unmarked cell (CLP=0) as far as possible.
As mentioned above, the identical effect of being observed among the present invention and the GFR.2, the CB in this network using system can carry out mark.In addition; even for being the GFR.1 of feature in network, not allow to mark; a cell that is input to network has been provided a kind of cell uniformity test; therefore if be connected the contract opposition with network but the unlabelled cell of user is considered to highly significant, then the present invention can protect this cell.Result's service management makes network protection be connected user's opposition of contract with termination or destruction.
Though represented and described the present invention with reference to the some preferred embodiments of the present invention, but it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art, under the situation that does not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention that define by additional claim, can carry out the various changes on form and the details.
