Single-Chip Solution for Ethernet over SDH/SONET

摘要

The structure of a chip, which maps 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet fames into SONET/SDH virtually concatenated VC-12 payloads, is put forward. The required link capacity to satisfy the desired QoS is calculated. A closed-loop flow control mechanism for both local and remote ends is suggested and the buffer size under self-similar traffic is estimated.
