- the exchange units 100 can be connected to a database unit 101 by means of a standardized interface, that is to say that the interface is the same for all the modules.
- the standard interface has as many data transport buses as there are modules in direct communication with the database unit.
- a module 112 is in charge of encapsulating frames of data received and to be processed within the system. This module communicates with the database unit via a dedicated bus 102.
- a module 113 is for example in charge of the generation of commands intended for the database unit 101 to extract data to be retransmitted. This module communicates with the database unit via a dedicated bus 103.
- a module 115 is responsible for receiving encapsulated frames from the database unit and processing them for retransmission. This module communicates with the database unit via a dedicated bus 105.
- a module 114 is responsible for managing the transmissions on the part of the database unit indicating certain events such as the storage of frames encapsulated. This management includes, for example, the coordination of modules 113 and 115.
- This module communicates with the database unit via a dedicated bus 104.
- a clock module 116 is responsible for receiving time updates of the system from the base station. In addition, it provides the time to all the modules of the data transmission system which must either mark the data or verify the data transmission times. The clock module can also generate events for the supply of synchronization signals to the process which requested it. It can also warn the data transmission modules when data is sent when they are defined as cyclic by the configuration. The clock module communicates with the database unit via a dedicated bus 106.

- the data exchanged by an exchange unit is received and sent through an interface module 107 configured according to the protocol used outside the system.
- Examples of protocols with which the system can be interfaced are Ethernet, CAN, ARINC 664P7 or others.
- Communication between the different modules 117, 119, 118 of each exchange unit on the one hand, and on the other hand the interface module 107 is also carried out via interconnection devices 120, 121, 122.

- an interconnection device 123 connects the analysis and filtering module 117 in charge of processing the received data frames with the module 112 in charge of encapsulating received data frames and to be processed within the transmission system Datas.
- An interconnection device 125 connects the module 115 in charge of receiving encapsulated frames from the database unit 101 and of processing them for retransmission with the module 118 allowing to encapsulate an encapsulated frame received from the module 115 .
- the interconnection devices include a temporary memory independently accessible in time by the module downstream from the interconnection device and by the module upstream from the interconnection device.
- the temporary memory of the interconnection device is a buffer memory.
- the memory is independently accessible for writing by the upstream module and for reading by the downstream module. This memory independently accessible in time by the upstream and downstream modules allows the upstream module to write to the memory independently of the reading by the downstream module. In other words, the upstream module and the downstream module use the memory of the interconnection device in an unsynchronized manner.
- the modules of the transmission system do not share storage space and exchange data via the memory of an interconnection device.
- the modules of the transmission system do not share a clock plane.
- the upstream and downstream modules are completely independent in the use of the memory of the interconnection device. There is no alteration in the determinism of the entire transmission system.
- the interconnection devices allow minimum latency and have a bandwidth much higher than the maximum speed of each transmission and can therefore operate in “starvation” mode.
- the interconnection devices can for example be memories called DPM (acronym for "Dual Port Memory” in English) or DAM (acronym for "Dual Access memory” in English) produced in the form of a FPGA type circuit (acronym for "Field -Programmable Gâte Array "in English).
- the memory of the interconnection devices is accessible to the upstream module via a write interface and to the downstream module via a read interface.
- the read and write interfaces have an asynchronous clock relation.
- the write interface makes it possible to store the data in the memory as they are received and the read interface makes it possible to read said data from said frame in the order of their reception.
- the read interface is configured to read the data stored in the memory in the write order (thus the interconnection devices provide so-called "FIFO" management of the data exchanged through them). Data stored in the memory can be read, re-read or even canceled by the read interface of the interconnection device.
- the write interface is configured to perform processing on at least one piece of data stored in said memory in order to detect errors and to interrupt the storage of data in a data frame if an error is detected.
- the errors detected can for example be the absence of buffer space or a sequence error in the data order.
- the read interface is configured to perform processing on at least one data item stored in said temporary memory in order to extract information on said at least one item of data.
- the information extracted can be for example a sequence number, its production time or its length.
- This information is transmitted to the downstream module at the same time as the data. They can be useful, for example, for processing in the data exchange units 100 or storage in the database unit 101.
- each interconnection device also comprises an error reporting interface reporting the operating errors in writing or in reading. This information is transmitted through the error reporting interface to a status reporting mechanism of the data transmission system.
- the temporary memory of the interconnect devices store the data frames.
- control and signaling data has the same format as the data frames.
- the message 201 is received at the interface module 202.
- This interface module is in charge of the dialogue with the components responsible for the physical management of the signals of the protocol linked to the data transmission system. It collects the information of the frames received via these components and transmits them byte by byte to the next module via an interconnection device 207.
- the message 201 is transmitted from the interface module 202 to the module 203 in charge of the analysis and message filtering via the interconnection device 207.
- the module 203 verifies the integrity of the message and also verifies that the message is authorized, by configuration, to be received by the exchange unit 200. In other words, the module 203 extracts the information from the incoming frame in order to to make sure that the source IP address and the source port of the message as well as its size are as defined by the configuration. On the other hand, the calculation of CRC (acronym for "Cyclic redundancy check” or checksums in English) makes it possible to verify that the frame received is indeed integrated.
- the message is then transmitted from the module 203 in charge of analysis and filtering to the encapsulation module 204 via an interconnection device 208.
- the message is encapsulated in the encapsulation module 204. Once encapsulated, the message is processed independently of the protocol used for transport outside the system.
- the encapsulated message is then transmitted to the database unit 205, via the interconnection device 209 and the bus 206, for storage in memory.
- the encapsulated message can be stored taking into account different parameters. This is for example to avoid duplication of information in memory.
- the recording of a message is unique even if it has several recipients. Each recipient and notified of the arrival of the data and its location. Recipients are then authorized to pick it up for transmission.
- the arrival time of the data is also part of the encapsulation data so that the receivers of the information can control the temporal validity of the latter. For example, the aging of the message must also be taken into account. For example, it is also a question of managing the access methods to the message which define the addresses of the objects in memory (we can for example cite the methods called "Sampling", “Queuing", "Flip / Flop" which are standard methods.
- An “event” type data is an object in common encapsulation format whose object is to warn the recipient module either of the behavior of another module or of '' an action to be performed for the latter.
- the database unit 205 (common to modules 200 and 300) generates and manages events relating to the transmission of an encapsulated message.
- the database unit also rates the moments of transmission of "event" type data to the exchange modules which must send the encapsulated message concerned by the data.
- the transmission module is notified by message that the data to be transmitted is available and where to go to get it.
- the “event” type data is then received by a module 301 for managing cyclic and event emissions in charge of receiving this data.
- the module 301 sends a command request to the command generation module 302.
- the command generation module 302 then sends a command to the database unit via an interconnection device 310 and the bus 311 so that the encapsulated object is sent to the exchange unit 300.
- the module 301 sends a request to put the encapsulated message in standby mode to the module 303 for generating data to be transmitted.
- the module 302 thus plays a role in managing the cycle (in particular the frequency) of sending messages.
- the database unit then sends the encapsulated message via the bus 305 and an interconnection device 313 to the module 303 which decapsulates the message to make it a message conforming to the protocol of the equipment connected to the physical port of the exchange unit 300.
- the message thus encapsulated is transmitted via an interconnection device 314 to the module 306 for controlling the transmission and then to the interface module 307 via an interconnection device 315.
- the control module 306 after a final verification of the integrity of the data using the control code (CRC) also verifies that the information contained corresponds to all the criteria defined by the configuration of the output port.
- CRC control code
- Filtering takes place between the reception of a frame and its encapsulation.
- the purpose of filtering is to verify that the frame received is indeed a known, expected and well-formed frame. If not, the frame is rejected and an error message is generated. Filtering also aims to provide, if the frame is accepted, information on the locations where the data necessary for the encapsulation of the frame can be retrieved.
- filtering in the area of networks is the operation of verifying the integrity and validity of a frame received.
- Verification of the integrity of the frame makes it possible to ensure that a frame received respects properties related to its structure.
- the verification is carried out using an error detection code of the cyclic redundancy check or CRC type (acronym for "Cyclic Redundancy Check").
- a frame can have a fixed size (this is the case for example in the Arinc 429 protocol) or a variable size bounded in lower and upper values (for example the Ethernet 802.3 protocol).
- the user can tighten the conditions on sizes. When the frame does not respect the size constraints, it is considered corrupt.
- Each frame which passes through the filtering module causes a binary decision-making, therefore with two stable states and no possible indecision: the frame passes the filtering or the frame does not pass the filtering. Any violation of the integrity and / or validity of the frame causes its rejection (frame therefore does not pass filtering).
- a first action is the removal (purging) of the frame of the filtering module.
- a second action is to lift an error status by checking the status management module mentioned above.
- the statutes can be managed in different ways. For example, it is possible to choose the sending of status information cyclically and this, with a configurable periodicity, or to send an event as soon as a particular event occurs to the module and the system. data transmission configured for this purpose.
- the statutes can be active and therefore taken into account or hidden and therefore ignored.
- the frame In the event that no violation of the integrity and validity rules is detected, the frame is accepted in the system, in other words, the frame passes the filtering.
- a first action is the supply of the frame to the next module (that is to say the encapsulation module).
- a second action is the generation of a pointer to the encapsulation tables which makes it possible to find, in the internal memories, the data of certain object encapsulation fields (over-encapsulation of the frame).
- the encapsulation of a frame is in fact an over-encapsulation.
- a frame is already an encapsulation of the useful data by fields specific to the protocol. Here it is a question of adding other fields. It is then possible to speak of over-encapsulation.
- a special feature of the filter module apart from the fact that it is designed for an exclusively hardware implementation, is the guarantee of a very high performance compared to existing systems on the market.
- the "hardware implementation” aspect here is opposed to a software implementation based on a Von Neumann type scheme.
- the filtering module like the data exchange unit to which it belongs, can be installed in FPGA type programmable circuits (acronym for "Field-Programmable Gate Array” or ASIC (acronym for "application-specific integrated circuit”). performance combines both high throughput and temporal determinism.
- the operation of the filtering module includes a frame reception register base, dichotomy modules, and a control state machine.
- the entire mechanism of the filtering module is clocked by a control state machine which pushes the frame into a register structure as it is received, and, at appropriate times, loads particular data and / or make calculations on some of this data.
- filtering which uses dichotomy tables to search for the information and actions to be carried out, is already launched because all the necessary information is made available.
- protection mechanisms such as CRC (acronym for "Cyclic redundancy check” or sums "checksum” in English).
- FIG. 4 An example of a frame is described with reference to FIG. 4.
- the invention is not limited to a particular protocol and can be applied to any protocol such as the Arinc 429 protocol or the 802.3 Ethernet protocol.
- the first 6 bytes received are the destination MAC address
- the next 6 bytes are the source MAC address
- the next 2 bytes are the EtherType field.
- the module requires the last two bytes of the destination MAC address (“Virtual Link” number in the Arinc standard 664P7), and if the registry is made up of 32-bit registers (4 bytes) then the reception of the second register, noted “Reg2” in FIG. 4, triggers a recovery of bytes 1 and 2 for processing purposes (identification of the “Virtual Link”).
- the reception and storage operation in addition to the task of recovering the parameters during reception, ensures verification of the integrity of the frames: verification of the frame envelope, IFG, size, CRC, etc.
- the information recovered from the encapsulation (sometimes after processing above) is used to ensure the validity of the frame. In other words, check if the frame is authorized to pass through the rest of the system. This activity is handled by the “dichotomy tables” also called “filter tables”.
- the dichotomy diagram is divided into several stages, each stage of which can itself be subdivided into several parts.
- the principle of partitioning into “stages” and “parts” obeys the following two rules.
- the “stages” are "pipelined”, that is to say, the outputs of a “stage” of order n-1 are inputs for the stage of order n.
- the execution of all "parts" in the same "floor” is parallelized.
- the dichotomy is organized in two stages, the first of which is itself subdivided into two parts. Chronologically, research on the first floor is parallelized.
- the outputs of the first stage constitute inputs for the second stage which, at the output, provides a pointer to memory structures which allow the encapsulation module to over-encapsulate the received frame.
- FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a filtering module according to embodiments.
- the overall operation of this module is synchronous.
- This module uses a single distributed clock. It is also managed by a finite state machine 501 (FSM acronym for "Final State Machine”).
- FSM Federal State Machine
- the advantage of this way of doing things is to be able to control the trigger and the duration of each operation, which induces a guarantee of a limited and known processing time, and therefore, a guarantee of temporal determinism.
- the frame on reception is de-serialized in the input module 500 "DataJN" which stores it as and when it arrives in a register 507. As soon as relevant information is available in the latter, these are recovered to be used.
- the first byte of the first register can be made available, upon receipt, of the module 502 for the dichotomous search of stage 1 part 2, denoted E1 P2.
- the launching of block 502 requires a command from the machine 501 as well as additional data (denoted "external data" such as the frame envelope and the clock).
- the reception of the continuous frame and other information is taken on the fly either to feed the dichotomous searches, or to feed a specific calculation unit 503 which subsequently feeds the dichotomous searches.
- the unit 503 makes it possible to process certain encapsulation information which is not usable in their raw state and / or must be combined together so that they can be used subsequently.
- the module 502 can only be launched after direct extraction of byte 2 from register 2 and provision of a processing result of unit 503 based on byte 1 of register 2. Launching of the module
- module 505 (part 1 of stage 1 denoted E1 P2) are injected as inputs into module 504. In addition, these inputs are not exclusive. Each floor may need additional entrances (in addition to that of the upstream floor). In the example in FIG. 5, the module 504 requires the last byte of the penultimate register as well as a result supplied by the unit 503.
- an integrity control unit 506 verifies that the frame on reception does not contain any anomaly.
- the checks relate to several parameters such as for example the CRC, the length, the IFG, or other.
- This unit informs the machine 501 of the status of the reception in progress and raises an anomaly if necessary. Throughout the operation, statuses are generated and exchanged in order to prevent any malfunction and detect any anomaly.
- the outputs of the filter modules can be one or three depending on the final state of the control state machine.
- An output is a status word containing the final state of the state machine with, if necessary, an indication (commonly called a flag) about the anomaly observed. If the processing was carried out correctly, then the filtering module provides in addition the content of the register base which is none other than the frame received and a pointer, coming from the last stage of the dichotomy, on the memory structures allowing create the object from the frame encapsulation.
- An encapsulated data frame is received via the bus 602 from the exchange unit as described above with reference to FIG. 1 (in particular from an encapsulation module such as the module 112 of FIG. 1) by the module RX interface module 610.
- This data frame is transmitted to a write event module 630 via an interconnection device 620.
- the write event module 630 is responsible for transmitting the encapsulated data received at a memory management module 650.
- the write event module 630 communicates with a data management module 642 in order to obtain the write address in the memory 660 of the data frame.
- the data management module 642 is responsible for assigning a write address in the memory 660 to each data frame.
- the write event module 630 communicates with the memory management module 650 by transmitting a write request by the via a first interconnection device 641 and by transmitting the data frame via a second interconnection device 640.
- the memory management module 650 stores the data frame in the memory 660.
- the write event module 630 communicates with an event module 631 and informs it of the storage of the data frame in the memory 660.
- the event module 631 communicates with the event interface module 611 via the 'through an interconnection device 621 which sends via the bus 604 a message to the exchange unit (in particular, to the emission management module 114) concerning the available data with the references of the available data.
- the event module 631 is responsible for informing the exchange unit of the available stored data frames.
- the command generation module 113 sends a read command via the bus 603 to the command interface 612.
- the command interface 612 transmits this command to the command module read command 632 via an interconnection device 622.
- the read control module 632 is in charge of receiving commands for data frames from the exchange unit module and of sending ordered data frames.
- the read control module 632 which receives the command makes a request to the data management module 642 in order to obtain the address from which to retrieve the data frame according to the references provided in the command.
- the data management module 642 then transmits the address to the read control module 632 which communicates its command to the memory management module 650 via a first interconnection device 643.
- the management module the memory 650 retrieves the data frame from the memory 660 from the address communicated and transmits the data frame to the read control module 632 via a second interconnection device 644.
- the read control module 632 transmits the data frame to the TX interface module 613 via an interconnection device 623.
- the TX interface module 613 finally transmits the data frame to the exchange unit (in particular to the module for generating the data to be transmitted 115) via the bus 605.
- the database unit also includes a time management module 614 which communicates with the clock module 116 of the exchange unit via the bus 606 in order to transmit the updates of the general time of the system. .
- the time management module 614 is also in charge of supplying the synchronization signals to the modules which have requested it.
- the interconnection devices 620, 621, 622, 623, 640, 641, 643, 644 of the database unit have the same properties and capacities as the interconnection devices described above with reference to the unit exchange.
