Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for avoiding a total failure in a processing unit for sending and receiving log information, and a processing unit for sending and receiving log information.
- the general background of the present invention is a processing unit that sends and receives the information required by a protocol (e.g. SSCOP, # 7, HDLC, internal transport protocol, etc.).
- a protocol e.g. SSCOP, # 7, HDLC, internal transport protocol, etc.
- Such processing units are integrated in many networks in order to enable data transfer within the network.
- the protocol information is transmitted via a high-performance switching technology such as transported asynchronous transfer mode (ATM).
- ATM transported asynchronous transfer mode
- ASIC Application Specific Integrated Circuits
- FPGA Field Programmable Gate Arrays
- Networks are usually tested before the actual user data transmission. However, due to the complexity of the protocols, it is not possible to test the handling of all situations in advance. This always leaves a certain probability of error. This means that incorrect protocol information may be received, which leads to the total failure of the system. The other transmission channels are also affected.
- the invention is accordingly based on the object of developing a method which avoids a total failure during the processing of the protocol.
- the central finding of the invention is to achieve a method for avoiding a total failure in a processing unit for sending and receiving protocol information for a large number of transmission channels in that a protocol process is started for each protocol by a controller and for each protocol In parallel to this process, a separate monitoring process can be activated, which is started at the same time as the protocol process and monitors the duration of the protocol process to detect a faulty transmission channel.
- the monitoring process can be activated and deactivated separately by the software for each protocol process.
- the monitoring process advantageously reports to the controller when a predetermined duration of the protocol process has been exceeded. In this case, incorrect protocol information must be assumed with which the protocol processing gets into a "deadlock" state.
- the duration of the monitoring process can be set separately for each protocol process, since the different processes take different times.
- the duration of all monitoring processes can be set to the maximum possible process duration. However, this causes an unnecessary time delay when recognizing faulty protocol information.
- a time base is integrated in the processing unit, which specifies a basic cycle.
- the controller saves the data relevant for later localization of the error as soon as a message from the monitoring process that the duration of the log process exceeds the predetermined time is sent to it.
- the relevant data include the name of the protocol process, the current state of the protocol process and / or further signal states. They are saved in registers.
- the controller then resets the processing unit, the data stored for later localization of the error being retained.
- the controller After the reset process, the controller starts a process that triggers the last received that caused the malfunction
- the processing unit is then ready to process the next message and there is therefore no total failure.
- the faulty transmission channel of the processing unit is blocked and can only be released again by the software after the fault has been eliminated.
- the protocol information is e.g. transmitted to a processing unit 1 in ATM cells.
- a hardware unit for processing the received protocol information is located on the receiving side of the processing unit 1.
- it is an RA (Recive ATM Adaptation Layer).
- the received protocol information is temporarily stored in a reception memory 5.
- the memory manager sends a signal 14 to the controller 2 that information is to be processed. This then uses a control word (protocol mode) to decide which protocol 3 it uses
- Protocol process 3a processes the information and then transfers all relevant data via a signal 13 to a bus interface 6, which in turn forwards it to subsequent software in the processor on the module for further processing via a signal 12.
- a monitoring process 4a For time monitoring of the protocol process 3a, a monitoring process 4a is started in parallel in a monitoring unit 4 by means of a start signal 17. The maximum permissible duration of the monitoring process is individually determined for each protocol process 4a. In order to optimize the time, it is set to the time required by the protocol process 3a in the event of faultless processing. To control the duration of the monitoring time, the monitoring process 4a receives a basic clock 18 from a time base 7. If the protocol process 3a ends its work steps, it signals this to the controller 2, which then stops the monitoring process 4a. For this reason, it is essential that each monitoring process 4a can be deactivated separately. Then the memory management of the receive memory 5 is reported that the information has been processed and thus the next message can be processed.
- the monitoring process 4a reports to the controller 2 by means of an error notification 19 that there is incorrect protocol information.
- the controller 2 then saves all relevant data, such as the name of the protocol process which caused the error, the current status of the protocol process in order to localize the cause of the error and / or further signal states in registers depending on the respective protocol.
- controller 2 resets the entire unit, obtaining the data that is stored for later location of the fault.
- the protocol process 3a, the monitoring unit 4, the time base 7 and the bus interface 6 are thus reset.
- This can e.g. can be achieved in that the reset signal 10 is generated by an OR circuit 9, to which the output signal 11 of the controller 2 and the external reset signal 8 are supplied.
- the controller 2 After the reset process, the controller 2 starts a process 3, which reads the last received message that triggered the malfunction from the receiving memory 5 via a signal 16 and forwards it to the external software 20 together with the stored data for error localization. Then the memory management of the reception memory 5 is signaled that the information has been processed and the next message can be processed.
- the faulty transmission channel is blocked immediately by the software 20 or hardware and can only be released again by the software 20 after the fault has been eliminated.
- the invention thus makes it possible to avoid a total failure in a processing unit in the event of incorrect log information and to determine the cause of the error.
