Design and Implementation of Multi-network Convergence System Based on Fiber Channel

针对大型电子装备内部子系统间通信链路的统一网络需求,选择光纤通道作为主干网络,构建包含FC、RapidIO、以太网等多种网络协议的融合网络系统。文中对这些网络协议进行深入分析,提出统一命名、统一地址映射和地址解析服务实现不同网络间寻址的方案,遵循并保留了原有的子网协议。利用大规模现场可编程门阵列和高性能的PowerPC完成通用化的桥接模块开发,实现了不同协议之间的实时、高效转换,有效降低了多种网络协议设备互联的成本和技术风险。系统具有良好的可扩展性,并通过全面的网络管理保证了系统运行的稳定性。同时,还详细描述了不同网络之间数据传输的流程。
