As is known, SDH has become the backbone of today's communication networks. Meanwhile, Ethernet remains the dominating technology in LAN (Local Area Network) for data transmission. Therefore, how to exchange data among separate 10M/100M Ethernets over SDH has become very attractive. This paper gives a single chip solution, which provides an interface between a 10M/100M Ethernet and N E1 links (or a high-speed link) and consequently transmits the inter-Ethernet frames onto the backbone. In addition, this paper sets up the queueing model for the buffer and analyzes the performance of FIFO under self-similar traffic. Also suggestions on congestion control are given.
