AN ATM CELL PROCESSOR

摘要

An ATM cell processor (10) has a backplane interface (11), a line interface(15), and various processing functions between the interfaces. Cells directed to the line interface (15) are controlled by a queueing function (12) which uses external cell memory via a controller (13) and external control memory via a controller (14). Cells from the backplane are identified and routed by a mapping function (16).
