INTRODUCTION
Significant developments have occurred in networking industry recently that are driving the need for a greater communications capacity in the wide area network (WAN). One of the driving forces is the need for more bandwidth to inter-connect two or more LANs across a metropolitan area network (MAN) or WAN. This bandwidth requirement has advanced to the point that it is straining the networking capacity provided by existing equipment. As such, network equipment such as frame relay switches, multi-service ATM switches, integrated access devices (IAD), and remote access concentrators are pushed to provide more network bandwidth by supporting more physical links, logical channels and latency sensitive data such as voice and video. This document describes how the FREEDM product family and other high density physical layer devices from PMC-Sierra address the need for more bandwidth for WAN equipment such as frame relay switch, multi-service ATM switch, and remote access concentrator by significantly improve the port density for a wide range of communication equipment. The document answers the following questions: * * * What function do the FREEDM product variants fulfill in the overall system architecture? What are the primary applications and equipment that the FREEDM devices are designed for? What PMC-Sierra products and other components interwork with the FREEDM product family.
This document is a companion of, but subordinate to the FREEDM datasheets: * * * * FREEDM-32P672 Datasheet, PMC-990262 FREEDM-32A672 Datasheet, PMC-990263 FREEDM-84P672 Datasheet, PMC-990445 FREEDM-84A672 Datasheet, PMC-990114

FREEDM PRODUCT FAMILY
In 1997, PMC-Sierra introduced the high performance packet processor, FREEDM-32 and FREEDM-8, to address remote internet access bandwidth limitations. These devices increased the port density of frame relay switches, routers and remote access concentrators such that more physical links and HDLC channels can be supported on the same board space as before. The FREEDM-32 and FREEDM-8 support multiple physical link configurations, ranging from 8 or 32 links at 56 Kbit/s each to 2 High Speed Serial Interfaces (HSSI) at 52 Mbps each. The density and flexibility offered by FREEDM-32 and FREEDM-8 enable a network designer to develop a single platform that can be reused across multiple port cards with different physical interfaces. For example, FREEDM-32 can be used with 4 TOCTL and a D3MX to support a channelized DS3 interface. FREEDM-8 can be used with two S/UNI-JET devices to support 2 unchannelized DS3/E3/J2 interfaces.

Channelized DS3 Application
Unchannelized DS/E3/J2 Interface
The explosive growth of Internet traffic and the popularity of WAN services such as the frame relay service are collectively pushing network architects to design higher and higher density port cards. The challenge is often compounded by the need to implement the higher density port card on the same form-factor and within the same power budget as its lower density predecessor. PMC-Sierra introduces the second generation FREEDM products to enable the design of high density, low power and low latency port cards for frame relay, routers and remote access concentrator equipment. For a remote access concentrator, the number of devices required to support a fully channelized DS3 with 672 HDLC channels can be drastically reduced by using a FREEDM-32P672 and a TEMUX in place of 6 FREEDM8, 4 TOCTL and a D3MX.

There are 4 product variants in the second generation FREEDM product family. These product variants are specifically designed to address the unique requirements of different networking equipment. For example, the dial-access equipment terminates a large number of communication sessions with remote users. A fully channelized DS3

link carries 28 T1s and each T1 in turn carries 24 DS0 timeslots. Therefore, the total number of DS0s in a fully channelized DS3 is 672. If each DS0 carries an independent PPP session, a total of 672 HDLC channels will be required to support a fully channelized DS3 port card. The FREEDM-32P672 supports 32 physical link and 672 HDLC channels and is ideal for a channelized DS3 card using the PCI as its system bus interface. At the edge of the WAN network where frame relay and multiservice ATM switches are located, the primary challenge is to support as many physical links as possible. A physical link can be T1/J1, E1, fractional DS3/E3 or an unchannelized DS3/E3. Unlike the dial-access equipment, only a fraction of the links are channelized. Therefore it is not necessary for these equipment to assign one HDLC channel per DS0. FREEDM84A672 and FREEDM-84P672 are ideal for the frame relay and multiservice ATM switches as they support 84 links and 672 HDLC channels on a single device. 2.1.1 Selection Criteria This section presents a general method to determine which one of the FREEDM product family is more suitable for a given application. This method requires the designer to specify the following selection criteria: 1. What is the preferred system bus type? 2. How many physical links are required? 3. How many HDLC channels are required? 4. What is the aggregate bandwidth? By answering the above questions, the designer can use the reference guide to select the most appropriate FREEDM device to use. 2.1.1.1 System Bus

FREEDM supports two system bus options: The industry standard Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Bus and PMC-Sierra's Any-PHY Packet Interface (APPI). PCI Bus PCI is a popular bus that can be used to interconnect devices that are compliant to the PCI Bus Specification. A system architecture that is based on the PCI bus can use off the shelf standard components to implement the required functions.

With several peer entities sharing a common bus, it is important to conduct a thorough analysis of the bus performance in order to ensure that a design can meet its target performance. The performance of the PCI bus depends on several variables, such as number of peer devices on a bus segment, packet length, memory read/write latency cycles, DMA overhead cycles and bus arbitration cycles. A number of applications notes are prepared to help the designer analyze and model FREEDM's performance on the PCI bus. Any-PHY Packet Interface (APPI) PMC-Sierra developed the APPI bus as a high bandwidth, low latency system bus interface. Modeled after the popular POS-PHY interface used in PPP-over-SONET applications, the APPI is a 16 bit, 50 MHz bus that can support up to 800 Mbps of raw bandwidth. The APPI uses very few overhead cycles to transmit and receive packets and therefore it is suitable for designs that need to scale up to OC-12 (622 Mbps) worth of bandwidth.

Like POS-PHY and UTOPIA bus interfaces, the APPI is a master/slave bus. An external bus master can interface with up to 7 FREEDM-32A672 and FREEDM-84A672 devices to send and receive packets. As the transmit APPI bus operations are independent from the receive operations, the external bus master can be implemented as two physical devices.

By using the APPI as the gateway to the HDLC channels and physical links, the system designer has a number of options to interface with the upper-layer components of the system: 1. Any APPI-to-backplane bridge can be designed by combining the APPI interface logic with the system backplane interface logic. If the traffic shaper at the upstream of the backplane interface can support shaping on a per packet fragment basis, then there is no need for local full packet storage. Alternatively, if the traffic shaper can only shape on a complete packet basis, then local packet storage is required. 2. The S/UNI-APEX is a full-function "packet aware" traffic manager and switch. It supports up to 2,048 channels via an Any-PHY Cell Interface and manages up to 16M byte of data buffer. The S/UNI-APEX can be used with one or more FREEDM-32A672 and FREEDM-84A672 to support many high density,

high bandwidth HDLC applications. A "cut-through" AAL-5 SAR is required to translate the packet fragments from FREEDM to and from the cell interface supported by S/UNI-APEX. 3. In a frame-relay-to-ATM interworking device, the designer can use FREEDM32A672 or FREEDM-84A672 to perform HDLC functions on the frame relay packets. The de-framed data is then passed to an interworking function block that translates the frame relay packet into ATM cells in accordance with implementation agreements such as Frame Relay Forum's FRF.5 Networking Interworking, FRF.8 Service Interworking or ATM Forum's FUNI specifications. 2.1.1.2 Physical Link

Low-speed direct links Low-speed-direct links are links that are less than 10 Mbps in bandwidth. Examples of low speed direct link include T1, J1, E1, JT2 and serial links such as V.35 and xDSL. A channelized DS3 contains a bundle of 28 T1s multiplexed using the M13 scheme. In this case, the number of low-speed links is 28.

H-MVIP Bus High Speed Multi-Vendor Interface Protocol (H-MVIP) defines a synchronous, time division multiplexed, bus of Nx64 Kbit/s constant bit rate data streams. Each 64 Kbit/s data stream carries an 8-bit bye of HDLC traffic and is characterized by 8KHz framing. H-MVIP supports higher bandwidth applications on existing telephony networks by fitting more time-slots into a 125 S frame. The FREEDM-32A672 and FREEDM32P672 support H-MVIP data rates of 2.048 Mbps and 8.192 Mbps with 32 or 128 timePROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL TO PMC-SIERRA, INC., AND FOR ITS CUSTOMERS' INTERNAL USE 10

SBI Bus The Scaleable Bandwidth Interconnect (SBI) is a synchronous, time-division multiplexed bus designed to transfer, in a pin-efficient manner, data belonging to a number of independently timed links. The parallel SBI bus reduces the complexity of interconnecting multiple low-speed direct links between the physical layer device and the data link layer device. The following example shows two ways to support 84 T1 links: On the left hand side 3 TEMUX are connected to 3 FREEDM-32A672 via 84 sets of low-speed direct links. The large number of physical links between the physical layer device and the data link layer device can be replaced with the parallel SBI bus as illustrated on the right hand side of this figure.

The SBI multiplexing structure is modeled on the SONET/SDH standards. The SONET/SDH virtual tributary structure is used to carry T1/J1 and E1 links. Unchannelized DS3 payloads follow a byte synchronous structure modeled on the SONET/SDH format. A design that uses FREEDM-84A672 and 3 TEMUX can support 3 unchannelized DS3 or 84 T1/J1 links or 63 E1 links. Different interfaces can be intermixed on a per Synchronous Payload Envelope (SPE) basis. Thus, one design can support one unchannelized DS3, 28 T1s and 21 E1s. 2.1.1.3 HDLC Channels

In an unchannelized application, each link is mapped to a unique logical channel. For a channelized application, a T1/J1 link carries 24 timeslots (each at 64 Kbps). Each of the timeslot can be carrying packet data independent from all other timeslots. Therefore, each channelized T1 can carry up to 24 HDLC channels (at DS0 rate). Equivalently, there are 32 timeslots in a channelized E1 and hence each channelized E1 can carry up to 32 HDLC channels (at DS0 rate). The number of logical channels required by network equipment depends on where in the network is the equipment located. Typically, the closer to the end-users, the more

number of HDLC channels are required. For example, a remote access concentrator that provides dial-access service to remote users would require one logical channel per DS0 timeslot. That is, for a channelized DS3 service 672 HDLC channels are required. The remote access concentrator would terminate the packet data and consolidate the multiple low-speed dial-access traffics onto a faster pipe such as unchannelized T1/E1 or DS3/E3 frame relay service. A frame relay switch typically supports unchannelized T1/E1 services. Therefore the number of HDLC channels required by a frame relay switch is much lower than that required by the remote access concentrator. 2.1.1.4 Aggregate Bandwidth

2.1.2.1 Frame Relay Switch - Channelized 3*DS3 A frame relay switch needs to implement a channelized OC-3 port card for the SONET/SDH network. On average, the channelized OC-3 link needs to support 6*DS0 1 timeslots per HDLC channel . The choice of the system bus is a 66MHz, 32 bit PCI bus. The selection criteria is summarized in the following table: Item
System Bus Option Number of physical links.
Value
66 MHz, 32 bit PCI bus 84 T1s (SONET) or 63 E1s (SDH) 336
Note
As per specification. Each SONET STS-3 carries 84 T1s via the VT1.5 mapping. The SDH STM-0 carries 63 E1s via the VT2.0 mapping. On average, a HDLC channel is required for every 6*DS0 timeslots. There are 24 timeslots in a T1; therefore 4 HDLC channels are required per T1. There are 84 physical links in this system and therefore 84*4=336 HDLC channels are required. The sum of all physical links is 84*1.544Mbps = 129.7 Mbps.

Base on the above selection criteria, several FREEDM devices can be used in this application including FREEDM-32, FREEDM-32A672 and FREEDM-32P672. One possible implementation of this multiservice access switch is to use a FREEDM32A672 with S/UNI-APEX, which supports 2,048 line ports, 4 WAN ports, and a highspeed microprocessor port. It supports any port to any port switching for 64K independent connections. S/UNI-APEX implements a traffic queuing algorithm that is highly configurable on a per-connection, per-class and per-port basis. It can also support scheduling of four classes of service on every port.

The interface device between the FREEDM-32A672 and the S/UNI-APEX need to perform the following basic functions: 1. Allow S/UNI-APEX indirect access to FREEDM-32A672's transmit partial packet FIFO fill level on a per HDLC channel basis. This allows S/UNI-APEX to schedule packets to those channels that are ready to accept packet fragments for transmission. S/UNI-APEX can support 4 levels of QoS and can schedule a higher priority packet ahead of a lower priority packet. The S/UNI-APEX sends packet to FREEDM as ATM cells across the Any-PHY Cell Interface. The bridge device must receive the ATM cells, perform AAL5 reassembly function and forward the packet fragment to FREEDM-32A672 via the APPI interface for transmission. 2. Polls the FREEDM-32A672 to determine which device has incoming packet, receive the packet through the APPI interface, perform AAL-5 segmentation function and forward the ATM cells to the S/UNI-APEX via the Any-PHY Cell Interface. If the packet is received in error, the bridge device must set the length field of the AAL-5 trailer to zero. This will inform the S/UNI-APEX to drop the packet. 2.1.2.3 Remote Access Concentrator A remote access concentrator needs to support a channelized DS3 carrying 28 channelized T1 or ISDN Primary Rate Interfaces (PRI). A circuit switch is used to detect whether an incoming call is from an analog or an ISDN device and direct it to the appropriate processing module. As each bearer channel can carry an independent user session, the PPP processing module needs to support up to 672 HDLC channels.

OVERVIEW
The Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) reference model, defined by the International Standards Organization (ISO), divides protocol suites into a structure consisting of seven layers. Each layer defines a set of functions common to networking environments transferring data from one place to another. A protocol at a given layer communicates with its equivalent on a remote system. Each layer passes its own data structures for use by its peer. It doesn't interpret any of the data for the layers above and below. On a given computer, data passes from users to their application software. Data then passes down the stack, layer by layer, until the physical layer sends it into the network. At the receiving end, this data passes up the stack to the receiving application. In other words, a layer in the OSI model provides service to the layer immediately above and relies on the layers below for transferring its data. The modularity enables network designers to select different protocols for each layer to accommodate varying networking situations.

Many protocol choices are frequently available for each layer, and some overlap in functionality with several layers. On data link layer, the High Level Data Link Control (HDLC) specification is one of the most popular protocol used to encapsulate upper layer protocols, such as TCP/IP for transmission over the wide area network. , The HDLC protocol is responsible for the error free movement of data between network nodes. That is, it enables the upper OSI layers to send and receive data error free, without loss and in the correct order. HDLC is a bit-oriented synchronous protocol that provides complete data transparency in a full-duplex point-to-point operation. It is independent of transmission bit rate and it requires a full duplex, bit transparent,

synchronous channel. HDLC is a very efficient protocol. Minimum overhead is required to ensure flow control, error detection and recovery. If data is flowing in both directions, the data frames themselves carry all the information required to ensure data integrity. The journey taken by a user packet across the wide area network, from a client node to a server node, may be encapsulated several times using the HDLC protocol. There are many permutations for a packet to traverse the network. One possible permutation is described below as an example:
Frame Relay to ATM Network Interworking Frame Relay T1 ATM OC-3
Client Node PPP ISDN BRI
Remote Access Concentrator PPP ISDN BRI Frame Relay T1
ATM Switch Fabric ATM OC-3 ATM OC-12
Server Node PPP SDSL PPP SDSL
Router Frame Relay T1
Frame Relay to ATM Network Interworking Frame Relay T1 ATM OC-12

* * * *
At the client node, a user packet is encapsulated using the PPP frame structure, which is based on the HDLC protocol. The PPP frame is carried over an ISDN BRI channel to a remote access concentrator where PPP frame is terminated. The remote access concentrator extracts the user data from PPP frame and encapsulates it using an industry agreed scheme such as FRF.3.1 Multiprotocol Encapsulation Implementation Agreement. The frame relay frame is based on the HDLC protocol. The frame relay data is transmitted, via an unchannelized T1 link, to a multiservice switch that supports frame relay service. At the multiservice switch, the frame relay packet is converted to ATM cells using Frame Relay Forum's Frame Relay/ATM Network Interworking Implementation Agreement (FRF.5). The ATM cells are transmitted over an OC-3 link to an ATM core switch. At the ATM core switch, the ATM cells are switched to an OC-12 link destined for a downstream multi-service switch. At the multi-service switch, the ATM cells are reassembled back into a frame relay packet using FRF.5. The frame relay packet is forwarded to a router on a T1 link. The router terminates the frame relay packet and encapsulates the user data using PPP frame. The frame is transmitted to the server node using SDSL service. The server node extracts the user data from the PPP frame.

The following sections describe how different network equipment can use HDLC protocol to provide efficient and reliable data link layer solutions. Frame Relay Switch A frame relay network provides an end-user with a high-speed virtual private network capable of supporting applications with large bit-rate transmission requirements. It gives a user N*DS0, T1, E1 or higher bandwidth access rates at a lesser cost than that which can be obtained by leasing comparable physical links. Frame Relay provides for the encapsulation of information from terminal devices connected to the network through routers, Integrated Access Devices and Frame Relay Access Devices (FRADs).

1. A frame relay system must provide services to delimit and align frames on the channel, so flags are used at a receiver to identify the beginning and ending of a frame. Flags take the form of specific sequence of 1 and 0 bits (i.e. 01111110) to connote the start and end of a transmission. Bit stuffing is performed on any similar bit sequence between the flags to eliminate confusion. Bit are stuffed in the control, payload and FCS fields to prevent any of the bits in these fields from being interpreted incorrectly as a flag, which would render the traffic unintelligible. These extra bits must be removed at the receiver via an operation known as unstuffing. 2. The system must inspect the frame to make certain it aligns itself on integer number of octets prior to the zero bit insertion and following the unstuffing of the zero bits. 3. The system must inspect the frame to insure that it does not exceed the maximum and minimum frame sizes often referred to as the maximum data unit (MDU). 4. The system must be able to detect transmission errors through the use of the frame check sequence (FCS) field, formatting problems and other operational errors. The HDLC controller needs to provide the above service on a per HDLC channel basis. To address higher density port cards, a single HDLC controller may be required to simultaneously support up to 672 HDLC sessions from a channelized DS3 link. In addition the frame relay system must support virtual circuit multiplexing and demultiplexing through the use of the DLCI field in the frame header. The payload fields of the frames on the channel may contain traffic from multiple users; each payload field is identified with a unique DLCI. The HDLC controller must efficiently forward the control and payload fields to a processing module where the header processing tasks can be performed.

PPP was developed by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to address the need for a standard method for encapsulating and sending datagrams over point-to-point serial connections. The PPP frame structure is similar to the frames defined by the HDLC standards. The PPP frame consists of a header and a data block. All information in a frame is composed of multiple 8-bit octets. The default lengths for both the Protocol and the Frame Check Sequence (FCS) field are 16 bits.
