Abstract

See full text

An asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) based service consolidation switch (10) includes an input/output module (22) having a to-switch port (TSPP) processor (90) and a from-switch port processor (FSPP) (92). The TSPP (90) and the FSPP (92) communicate with a bandwidth arbiter (114), multipoint topology controllers (116), and a data crossbar (117) on a switch control module (32). The TSPP (90) receives traffic over links for conversion into an internal cell format. Internal cells are buffered until allowed to transfer to an appropriate FSPP (92). Multipoint topology controllers (116) performs translations for internal switch flow control through interactions between the TSPPs (90), FSPPs (92), and the bandwidth arbiter (114). The bandwidth arbiter (114) performs appropriate bandwidth arbitration to allow internal cells to flow from TSPPs (90) to FSPPs (92) over the data crossbar (117).
