Description
The GFP-F IP Core receives and maps entire client signal frames into one GFP frame adhering to the format set out for the frame-mapped GFP mode of client signal adaptation. The GFP-F Core encapsulates entire octet-aligned, variable-length client signal frames into one GFP frame. The core is available for Altera Stratix, Stratix-II, Stratix GX / II GX, Cyclone, and Cyclone-II devices and utilizes an Altera-standard Atlantic interface. There is also a microcontroller register interface for parameter setting and status monitoring.
Features
- Fully Compliant with Frame Mapped GFP Specification from ITU-T
- GFP Control Frames are supported at a maximum of 10% of full line-rate
- Encapsulator receives frames from multiple channels and individually maps frames into single GFP frames
- Decapsulator receives frame-mapped GFP frames, and removes various GFP-unique fields
- GFP and Ethernet configuration and status signals are available, and can be mapped to any micro-controller interface
- Parameter and status signals included, to connected the core to a CPU-like interface, such as 8051 or I²C
- Extension Header supports a Linear (Point-to-Point) connection. Other topologies supported with modifications.
- Minimum packet-size is 32 bytes
- Control frames always have higher priority than user data frames / packets
- The inter-packet gap at the Ingress input must be a minimum of 2 cycles
- Atlantic Interface: Datapath interfaces to the 64-bit Atlantic Specification at 50 MHz
