Overview
The ABM-P PXF 4336 Version 1.1 is Infineon’s new generation ATM Buffer Manager
device. It addresses the performance needs of new multi-service platforms with
combined ATM cell and packet-handling applications. The ABM-P manages ATM traffic
flowing through multi-service platforms in which voice, video, and data traffic converge.
The optimizes the interworking of ATM and higher-layer traffic-management and flow-
control schemes. The Enhanced Rate Control (ERC) feature provides maximum link
utilization by rate-adaptive schemes such as ABR-ER, ABR-VS/VD, and ABR-RSC.
Optional “leaky bucket” shaping per queue provides full VBR support. The ABM-P is
useful in applications where extensive ATM traffic management capabilities are
required. This includes either distributed or centralized system architectures that cover
enterprise and Central Office switches, DSLAMs, and ATM line cards for routers and
switches.
