PM7388
PM7388 is Frame Engine and Datalink Manager manufactured by PMC-Sierra.
- Part of the PM7388_PMC comparator family.
- Part of the PM7388_PMC comparator family.
FEATURES
- Single-chip multi-channel packet processor supporting line rate throughput transfers of packet sizes from 40 to 9.6 Kbytes, for up to an aggregate of 336 T1s, 252 E1s, or 12 DS-3s.
- Provides simultaneous support of PPP, Frame Relay, Multilink-PPP and Multilink-Frame Relay protocols. Alternative protocols supported via HDLC termination and full packet store of the data within the HDLC structure. configurable on a per multilink bundle. Optionally full packet transfers are supported on a per bundle basis.
- Supports up to 168 multilink bundles with up to 12 member links per bundle. These bundles are posed of independent HDLC channels.
- Support for up to 100 ms of intra bundle skew in the receive direction when supporting the minimum. fragment size.
- Support for PPP header pression as per RFC 1661.
- Link Control protocol packets are identified by the PID as control protocols and will be forwarded to the Any-PHY interface.
FRAME RELAY
- Link layer address lookup can be performed based on HDLC channel and 10 bit DLCI for HDLC channels supporting Frame Relay protocols.
- The lookup algorithm can support a maximum of 16 K connection identifiers (CIs) amongst multilink FR bundles. The connection identifiers are ignored in singlelink FR channels.
- Control frames are identified and forwarded to Any-PHY interface.
- 12 bit sequence numbers supported.
- FECN, BECN, and DE ingress processing as per FRF.12.
MULTILINK PPP AND FRAME RELAY BUNDLES
- Capable of supporting fragment sizes from 1 to 9.6 Kbytes.
- Support for 3 egress fragmentation sizes (128, 256, and 512 bytes)
- Support for 16 COS levels in accordance with RFC 2686.
- Either 12 bit or 24 bit sequence number, with short and long fragment header formats, is supported.
