Address Compression

The address compression mechanism uses two levels of address translation to help minimize the memory

space needed to cover the available address range. The first level of translation (VP-level) uses a look-up

table based on the 4-bit PHY address and the 12-bit virtual path identifier; the second level (VC-level) uses

the 16-bit virtual channel identifier. If there is no match during address compression, the cell is considered

a misinserted cell.

During the VP-level translation, VP_MASK in the ATM parameter RAM compresses an incoming cell’s

PHY address and VPI to create an index into the VP-level table. The VP-level table entry consists of

another mask (VC_MASK) and a pointer to one of the VC-level tables (VCOFFSET). Note that the VP

table should reside in the dual-port RAM.

In the VC-level translation, the VCI is compressed with the VC_MASK to generate a pointer to the

VC-level table entry containing the received cell’s channel code. The VC table should reside in external

memory.

Figure 31-5 shows an example of address compression.

Figure 31-5. Address Compression Mechanism

Figure 31-5 shows VP_MASK selecting five VPI bits to index the VP-level table. The VP-level table entry

contains the 16-bit mask (VC_MASK) and the VC-level table offset (VCOFFSET) for the next level of

address mapping. The VC_MASK selects VCI bits 4–10, which is used with VCT_BASE and VCOFFSET
