RFC 1483
RFC 1483 defines an encapsulation method for transporting
multiple protocols over the same or different VCs using the ATM
Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5) protocol. Implementation is limited to
Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs). The ATM Uplink module
supports 802.3 Ethernet, as well as a routed Protocol Data Unit
(PDU) for layer 3.
The ATM Uplink module supports up to 128 Virtual Switch Ports
(VSPs) and LECs per module. A VSP is a single port on the Cajun
P550/P880 switch. It appears as a switch port to the supervisor
module and is bound to a VLAN by the supervisor. Only one VSP
may be bound to a particular VLAN.
* Notes:
You need a license key in order to use RFC 1483. Refer to the
Cajun P550/P880 Switch ATM Uplink Installation Sheet for more
information on the license key.
You can configure a module with both LANE and RFC 1483,
if you have purchased a RFC 1483 license key
Quality of Service
QoS (Quality of Service) is a measure of guarantee performance for
the transmission quality and service availability of a transmission
system.
QoS is implemented in LANE through configuring sets of ATM
traffic parameters (QoS Sets) and associating these with the different
Ethernet frame priorities (0 - 7). A Data Direct Virtual Channel
Connection (DDVCC) is setup to a QoS capable LEC for each QoS set
as needed.
