IR-IP Interface Module

B.1 Introduction

Overview

IR-IP is a high-performance, miniature IP router based on RAD's unique IP router

chip, the Chip Router. IR-IP has a 10BaseT (UTP) interface and complies with

IEEE 802.3. The router interface operates in either half-duplex or full-duplex

mode.

IR-IP filters the traffic, in accordance with the IP address of each packet, and

forwards only packets with foreign addresses through the WAN link. IP packets

received from the link are automatically forwarded to the LAN connected to the

local Ethernet interface if the IP net matches.

IR-IP includes hardware filters which handle all filtering operations at wire speed

from both LAN-to-WAN and WAN-to-LAN, without dropping a single packet.

Filtering and forwarding are performed at the maximum rate of 35,000 and

30,000 frames per second (wire speed), respectively. The buffer can hold

256 frames of maximum size of 1534 bytes and a throughput latency of one

frame.

ASMi-52 equipped with IR-IP interface module can be used as a Frame Relay

Access Device (FRAD) with an integral IP router. RFC 1490 is supported for a

single DLCI on the WAN link. Detection of the DLCI and the maintenance

protocol is performed automatically. This allows the IR-IP to be used as the

termination unit of IP services over Frame Relay at the customer premises,

opposite a Frame Relay switch in the backbone.

Alternatively, Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) can be run on the WAN link with

automatic negotiation on power-up, as well as support for PAP and CHAP

authentication. With this feature, IR-IP can operate opposite any PPP compliant

access server or backbone router.

IR-IP supports HDLC-like framing, which is especially important for broadcast and

multicast applications where bandwidth overhead is critical.

IR-IP supports IP multicast at wire speed, making it suitable for any multicast

environment including high speed downstream environments, such as satellite and

xDSL. Users on the LAN who register with IR-IP for an IP multicast group using the

IGMP protocol filter IP multicast packets at wire speed.

Management and advanced configuration are performed via Telnet.
