Abstract
The paper addresses the main functions of a gateway between the fibre channel standard (FCS) and an ATM network. The fibre channel provides a general transport vehicle for upper layer protocols such as the intelligent peripheral interface (IPI), small computer system interface (SCSI), high-performance parallel interface (HIPPI) data framing and others at scalable speeds of 265 Mbit/s, 531 Mbit/s and 1.06 Gbit/s. ATM wide area networks will provide cell based transmission and switching at rates of 155 Mbit/s and above. The paper describes design solutions to obtain very high throughput using hardware processing and careful protocol functions relaying between the two standards. >
