IP Over SONET/SDH Link-Layer Processing with Multiprocessor

With the recent increase in IP traffic owing to fiber communication, previous schemes have become inadequate for link-layer processing of IP over SONET/SDH(POS). In this study, a proposal based on [Formula: see text] processors to provide mapping or demapping of IP datagrams from or into SONET/SDH is presented, and the value of [Formula: see text] is decided based on the link layer rate of POS. Further, the mathematic model of proposed architecture are presented in detail. Then the realization procedures are implemented in a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Both theoretical analysis and experimental test prove that the proposed scheme is efficient, portable, cost-efficient and has a lower hardware resources consumption.
