Implementing a Dynamically Reconfigurable ATM Switch on the VIRTEX FPGA of the FPX Platform

摘要

This paper shows how a reconfigurable ATM switch (RECATS) has been implemented on a single VIRTEX FPGA, present in the Field Programmable Port Extender board (FPX). The switch architecture is outlined and the FPX platform is described in detail. Finally, the modifications applied to the FPX components and the methodology used to validate the reconfigurable switch are explained.
