Implementation of management bus for a heterogeneous network interworking subsystem in advanced communication processing system

摘要

Advanced Communication Processing System(ACPs) is a gateway system among various access networks under developing in Korea. It is aimed to support a flexible and efficient provision of value-added services. A high-speed interconnection subsystem, named HSSF(High-speed Switching Fabric), carries out interconnecting and switching among various network access subsystems in ACPS. For diagnosis and management of HSSF, we have adopted a Management Bus (M-Bus), which is separated from packet data path so as not to interfere service traffic transportation. In this paper, we propose management methods including fault, configuration and duplication control with M-bus to accomplish the rapid, flexible, and reliable operation of HSSF.
