Abstract
A header conversion device allowing reduced amount of hardware and memory and high-speed line switching is disclosed. In an ATM switching device having redundant incoming line systems, a header conversion table stores a set of header conversion information for one of the redundant incoming line systems. A header converter converts the header of an ATM cell received from each of the redundant incoming line systems by referring the same set of header conversion information.
Claims2
A device for converting a header of a packet to forward the packet to an appropriate one of output ports of a switch fabric, comprising:
- redundant incoming line systems;
- a header conversion table storing a set of header conversion information for one of the redundant incoming line systems;
- and
- a header converter for converting a header of a packet received from each of the redundant incoming line systems by referring the set of header conversion information.
