Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a circuit arrangement for transmitting message cells, which are assigned to virtual connections of different priorities, together via at least one transmission line of an ATM system operating according to an asynchronous transfer mode, the message cells being assigned one of these individually when they are transmitted via the respective transmission line Run through the buffer memory.
- a plurality of virtual connections can be set up simultaneously on a transmission line, for which different requirements with regard to the cell loss probabilities (different priorities) are made. For example, a cell loss probability of 10 "6 may be required for one of the virtual connections, but no cell loss probability may be required for another virtual connection.
- the invention has the advantage that, overall, fewer connections are damaged on average by cell losses. Especially with data traffic in which data packets of a virtual connection prior to transmission over the candidate transmission line segments first and then the a ⁇ individual segments of a message cell is transmitted in each case, the discarding of information cells of individual cient ineffi-.
- the receiver included in a virtual connection has to reject an entire data packet damaged by cell loss in order to avoid data errors. In addition, the number of data packets transmitted on average without errors, ie data packets which do not suffer cell loss, is increased.
- the present invention avoids indiscriminate discarding of individual message cells, which is highly likely to disrupt many virtual connections.
- the measures according to claims 4 to 6 can preferably use those virtual connections for discarding message cells for which many message cells are currently buffered and thus contribute more than others to an overload.
- these are virtual connections that do not comply with specified connection parameters, e.g. exceed the maximum cell rate specified for the respective virtual connection.
- the object shown above is achieved by a circuit arrangement according to claim 7 and by its Solved partial configurations according to claims 8 and 9.
- the advantage here is an overall low circuit outlay in order to efficiently utilize the individual transmission lines and the buffer memories assigned to them.
- FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a circuit arrangement in which the invention is applied
- FIG. 2 shows a basic circuit diagram for the formation of a logical queue
- FIG. 3 shows a basic circuit diagram for discarding the cells of a logical queue.
- a line device LE is shown schematically in FIG. 1, which is inserted between two transmission line sections L1 and L2 of an ATM system operating according to an asynchronous transfer mode. Only those circuit elements of the line device LE that are necessary for understanding the present invention are shown. In addition, this line device is shown as a representative of further line devices inserted in transmission line sections of the ATM system.
- Message cells appear on the transmission line section L1, which, in a known manner, have an external cell header ("header”) in addition to an information part (“user part”)
- a virtual connection can be either a virtual channel connection (single connection) or a virtual path connection (bundle of several individual connections).
- a virtual channel connection is assigned a virtual channel number VCI ("Virtual canal identifier"), while a virtual path connection is assigned a virtual path number VPI ("Virtual path identifier") in the external cell header of the respective message cell.
- VCI Virtual canal identifier
- VPI Virtual path number
- a virtual channel number VCI is additionally specified in the external cell header in order to be able to identify the individual virtual channel connections carried out within the virtual path connection.
- a conversion device CONV forms the input of the line device LE (FIG. 1). This precedes each message cell occurring on the transmission line section L1 with an internal cell header in order to be able to forward the respective message cell within the ATM system.
- This internal cell header is formed in accordance with the content of the external cell header contained in the message cells.
- one of m queue identifications QID (“queue identifications”) is statistically assigned in accordance with the VCI or VPI / VCI contained in the respective external cell header.
- the respective queue identification QID causes an address reduction compared to the assigned VCI or VPI / VCI and is included in the associated internal cell header.
- the message cells expanded in this way by an internal cell header are successively fed to a demultiplex device DEMUX (FIG. 1) which is connected to a buffer memory PS via m demultiplex outputs.
- the de-multiplex outputs are individually assigned to the queue identifications QID mentioned.
- the buffer memory PS has a large number of memory locations from which a maximum of m logical queues are formed can be, as will be explained in more detail below.
- These logical queues which are denoted by Q1 to Qm in FIG. 1, are individually controlled by the demultiplexing device DEMUX with the aid of the queue identifications QID contained in the received message cells.
- the demultiplexing device DEMUX When a logical queue is activated in this way, the message cell provided with the queue identification in question is adopted.
- the individual logical queues each form a “FIFO” memory (“first-in, first-out” memory) which can buffer a plurality of message cells at the same time.
- the logic queues (Q1 to Qm) are controlled on the output side in the context of a predetermined handling discipline ("cell scheduling") by an operating device SC ("scheduler") in a defined sequence.
- cell scheduling a predetermined handling discipline
- SC operating device SC
- a message cell is removed from each logical queue and forwarded via the transmission line section L2.
- the logical queues can have different fill levels depending on the traffic volume on the associated transmission line section L1.
- a fixed filling level of the buffer memory PS FOG1
- the number can, for example, depend on the length of the logical
- Threshold values can be defined for the individual logical queues for the previously described discarding of message cells, wherein if such a threshold value is exceeded by a logical queue, the virtual connection assigned to this is preferably used for the discarding.
- the selection can be made either in a fixed order or at random.
- the priority of the virtual connections assigned to these queues can be used, for example, as the selection criterion for the logical queues.
- the current length of the individual logical queues can serve as a further criterion.
- FIG. 2 schematically shows the formation of one of the logical queues according to FIG. 1.
- Such a queue is then implemented by a simply linked list of memory locations in the buffer memory PS.
- the beginning and the end of a logical queue are marked by a start pointer (address) and an end pointer.
- each memory location belonging to a queue contains an additional pointer (address) which designates the subsequent memory location of the queue. Only the storage space forming the end of a queue has no such pointer. This is indicated in FIG. 2 by the designation NIL.
- FIG. 3 shows schematically the discarding of all message cells of a logical queue.
- the linked list shown under a) represents a logical queue to be rejected
- a free list is shown in which all free storage spaces are linked with each other, the beginning and end being marked again by a start pointer and an end pointer.
- a pointer to the first memory location of the logical queue to be discarded is then entered in the currently last memory location of the free list (instead of the previous NIL).
- the storage space previously forming the end of the logical queue to be rejected now represents the end of the free list (indicated by NIL).
- a plurality of transmission line sections (L1) are connected to the demultiplexing device DEMUX (FIG Demultiplexing device DEMUX in multiplex operation to transmit message cells transmitted via these transmission line sections.
- a plurality of transmission line sections L2 can be connected via the control device SC (FIG. 1), to which the message cell stored in the buffer memory PS can be distributed.
