Integration With Hardware And Drivers
In addition to the portable software,
Metaswitch can provide preintegration with a number of SAR and switch fabric chips:
Please ask us about ongoing integration work
if you are interested in devices not included in this list.
DC-ATM is fully integrated with the Agere Systems (Acquired by LSI)
Atlanta™ switching chip set, including the APC, ASX and ACE
devices. This chip set is a very high-function, flexible switching solution for ATM devices.
Using DC-ATM with these chips allows customers
to receive an off-the-shelf port that significantly reduces their development burden.
In addition, DC-ATM is available pre-ported to
a reference system including
- VxWorks®
- PowerPC®
- Agere Systems APC/ASX
- Conexant SAR
This can be used as a basis for customers
to build similar systems or systems using similar components.
Metaswitch's APC support software
includes several main features:
- Call Admission Control
(CAC) based on the most advanced algorithms in the public domain.
In addition, Metaswitch is working with Agere Systems research engineers
to improve the CAC function and optimise the performance of the Agere Systems
APC device.
- Integration with the
Agere Systems APC driver API. This ensures that DC-ATM and Agere Systems APC customers
do not need to access this API for VC management.
- Flexible architecture.
This software can be used in distributed and centralised systems, and can
even be used with ATM control plane software from other sources.
