- Sorry, I touched the wrong button! :-)
-
- Still I'm talking about "on-the-fly" and "fly-by".
-
- I just want to point out that "context-switching" after every cell is
- lots of work, just to calculate CRC.
- Has anybody knowledge of CRC hardware, performing "context-switching" on
- it's own? (something with integrated memory and some kind of control interface)
- Concerning the "fly-by" method:
- If I would like to have about 100 VC's using AAL5 and I had to store every packet
- till it'scompleted, I would have to allocate 64 KBytes for every VC. Since there is
- still no CPCS-PDU header defined for AAL5, where a packet-size information could be
- transmitted, I have to assume the maximum CPCS-PDU size! This would result in
- several MBytes of interface-board memory. (Sometimes I remember that S-BUS card
- size in my nightmares)
