2.0 Architecture Overview
2.2 High Performance Host Architecture with Buffer Isolation
2.2.1 Multiple ATM Clients
2-2
The CN8237, functioning as an ATM UNI, provides a high throughput uplink to a
broadband network. Most individual ATM service users (or clients) do not have
the bandwidth requirements to equal the throughput capability of the CN8237. As
an application example, ATM clients can be Ethernet or Frame Relay ports.
Therefore, many service clients are typically aggregated onto one ATM UNI.
These clients may have very different needs and/or isolation requirements.
per-VCC Quality of Service (QoS) needs, the CN8237 functions as an ATM
server for up to 32 clients. In this way, the bandwidth requirements of the service
user (the client) can be balanced with the service throughput capability of the
CN8237 and the rest of the specific system.
paths. Each communication path, or flow, consists of a control queue and a status
queue for both segmentation and reassembly. The host assigns each of these
independent flows to system clients, or peers. These can be either physical or
logical entities. As throughput requirements escalate, the host system can add
processing power in the form of additional peers. This degree of freedom creates
a scalable host environment. Multiple VCCs can be assigned to each client (peer).
In order to fully capitalize on the high bandwidth of this service while meeting
The CN8237 provides multiple independent control and status communication
