<strong>Digital</strong> <strong>Subscriber</strong> <strong>Line</strong> <strong>Access</strong> <strong>Multiplexer</strong> (<strong>DSLAM</strong>) <strong>Example</strong> <strong>Design</strong><br />

Figure 5 illustrates what steps are necessary to move a flow control packet from the ATM DSL<br />

Aggregator to the output of the Receive Processor, which goes to the IXB3208.<br />

On the data path in the Receive Processor, flow control packets coming from the ATM/DSL<br />

Aggregator over the ATM port are transmitted over the IX bus with an appropriate Inter-IXP<br />

header and segmented for IXB3208 consumption. No transformation is performed on flow control<br />

packets in the Receive Processor.<br />
