Description  
The MVTX2603 is a high density, low cost, high performance, non-blocking Ethernet switch chip. A single chip  
provides 24 ports at 10/100 Mbps, 2 ports at 1000 Mbps and a CPU interface for unmanaged switch applications.  
The Gigabit ports can also support 10/100 M and 2 G modes.  
The chip supports up to 64K MAC addresses and port-based Virtual LANs (VLANs). The centralized shared  
memory architecture permits a very high performance packet forwarding rate at full wire speed. The chip is  
optimized to provide low-cost, high-performance workgroup switching.  
Two Frame Buffer Memory domains utilize cost-effective, high-performance synchronous SRAM with aggregate  
bandwidth of 6.4 Gbps to support full wire speed on all ports simultaneously. In the 2G-mode configuration, two  
ZBT-SRAM domains are needed.  
With delay bounded, strict priority, and/or WFQ transmission scheduling and WRED dropping schemes, the  
MVTX2603 provides powerful QoS functions for various multimedia and mission-critical applications. The chip  
provides 4 transmission priorities (8 priorities per Gigabit port) and 2 levels of dropping precedence. Each packet is  
assigned a transmission priority and dropping precedence based on the VLAN priority field in a VLAN tagged  
frame, or the DS/TOS field, or the UDP/TCP logical port fields in IP packets. The MVTX2603 recognizes a total of  
16 UDP/TCP logical ports, 8 hard-wired and 8 programmable (including one programmable range).  
The MVTX2603 supports 3 groups of port trunking/load sharing. One group is dedicated to the two Gigabit ports,  
and the other two groups to 10/100 ports, where each 10/100 group can contain up to 4 ports. Port trunking/load  
sharing can be used to group ports between interlinked switches to increase the effective network bandwidth.  
In half-duplex mode all ports support backpressure flow control to minimize the risk of losing data during long  
activity bursts. In full-duplex mode, IEEE 802.3x flow control is provided. The MVTX2603 also supports a per-  
system option to enable flow control for best effort frames, even on QoS-enabled ports.  
The Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS) is integrated on-chip to provide a direct 10-bit interface (TBI) for connection to  
SERDES chips. The PCS can be bypassed to provide a GMII interface.  
The MVTX2603 is fabricated using 0.25 micron technology. Inputs, however, are 3.3 V tolerant, and the outputs are  
capable of directly interfacing to LVTTL levels. The MVTX2603 is packaged in a 553-pin Ball Grid Array package.

2.0 Block Functionality  
2.1 Frame Data Buffer (FDB) Interfaces  
The FDB interface supports pipelined synchronous burst SRAM (SBRAM) memory at 100 MHz. To ensure a non-  
blocking switch, two memory domains with a 64-bit wide memory bus are required. At 100 MHz, the aggregate  
memory bandwidth is 12.8 Gbps which is enough to support 24 10/100 M and 2 10/100/1000 M ports at full wire  
speed switching. For the 2G-mode stacking application, pipelined ZBT-SRAM memory running at 125 MHz is  
required.  
The Switching Database is also located in the external SRAM; it is used for storing MAC addresses and their  
physical port number. It is duplicated and stored in both memory domains. Therefore, when the system updates the  
contents of the switching database it has to write the entry to both domains at the same time.  
2.2 MAC Modules  
2.2.1 RMII MAC Module (RMAC)  
The 10/100 M Media Access Control (RMAC) module provides the necessary buffers and control interface between  
the Frame Engine (FE) and the external physical device (PHY).  
The MVTX2603 RMAC implements two interfaces, RMII or GPSI (7WS) (only for 10 M), and fully meets the IEEE  
802.3 specification. It is able to operate in either Half or Full Duplex mode with a back pressure/flow control  
mechanism. In addition, it will automatically retransmit upon collision for up to 16 total transmissions.  
The PHY addresses for 24 RMACs are from 08h to 1Fh. These twenty-four ports are denoted as ports 0 to 23.  
2.2.1.1 GPSI Interface  
The 10/100 M RMII ethernet port can function in GPSI (7WS) mode when the corresponding TXEN pin is strapped  
low with a 1 K pull down resistor. In this mode, the TXD[0], TXD[1], RXD[0] and RXD[1] serve as TX data, TX clock,  
RX data and RX clock respectively. The link status and collision from the PHY are multiplexed and shifted into the  
switch device through external glue logic. The duplex of the port can be controlled by programming the ECR  
register.  
The GPSI interface can be operated in port based VLAN mode only.

An external CPLD logic is required to take the link signals and collision signals from the GPSI PHYs and shift them  
into the switch device. The switch device will drive out a signature to indicate the start of the sequence. After that,  
the CPLD should shift in the link and collision status of the PHYS as shown in the figure. The extra link status  
indicates the polarity of the link signal. One indicates the polarity of the link signal is active high.

2.2.2 GMII MAC Module (GMAC)  
The 10/100/1000 M Media Access Control (MAC) module provides the necessary buffers and control interface  
between the Frame Engine (FE) and the external physical device (PHY). The MVTX2603 GMAC implements both  
GMII and MII interface, which offers a simple migration from 10/100 M to 1000 M.  
The GMAC of the MVTX2603 meets the IEEE 802.3Z specification. It is able to operate in 10/100M either Half or  
Full Duplex mode with a back pressure/flow control mechanism or in 1G Full duplex mode with flow control  
mechanism. Furthermore, it will automatically retransmit upon collision for up to 16 total transmissions.  
The PHY addresses for the two GMACs are 01h and 02h. These two ports are denoted as ports 25 (G0) and 26  
(G1).  
For fiber optics media, the MVTX2603 implements the Physical Code Sublayer (PCS) interface. The PCS includes  
an 8B10B encoder and decoder, auto-negotiation and Ten Bit Interface (TBI)  
2.2.2.1 Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS) Module  
For the MVTX2603, the 1000BASE-X PCS module is designed internally and may be utilized in the absence of  
GMII. The PCS incorporates all the functions required by the GMII to include encoding (decoding) 8B GMII data to  
(from) 8B/10B TBI format for PHY communication and generating Collision Detect (COL) signals for half-duplex  
mode. It also manages the auto-negotiation process by informing the management entity that the PHY is ready for  
communications. The on-chip PCS may be disabled if a PCS block exists within the Gigabit PHY. The TBI interface  
provides a uniform interface for all 1000 Mbps PHY implementations.  
The PCS comprises the PCS Transmit, Synchronization, PCS Receive and auto-negotiation processes for  
1000BASE-X.  
The PCS Transmit process sends the TBI signals TXD[9:0] to the physical medium and generates the GMII  
Collision Detect (COL) signal based on whether a reception is occurring simultaneously with transmission.  
Additionally, the Transmit process generates an internal “transmitting” flag and monitors auto-negotiation to  
determine whether to transmit data or to reconfigure the link.  
The PCS Synchronization process determines whether or not the receive channel is operational.  
The PCS Receive process receives the TBI signals RXD[9:0] from the physical medium, and generates the GMII  
RXD[7:0] signals and the internal “receiving” flag for use by the Transmit processes.

Data Sheet  
The PCS auto-negotiation process allows the MVTX2603 to exchange configuration information between two  
devices that share a link segment and to automatically configure the link for the appropriate speed of operation for  
both devices.  
2.2.2.2 TBI Interface  
The TBI interface can be used for 1000M fiber operation. In this mode, the MVTX2603 is connected to the SERDES  
as shown in Figure 4. To enable the PCS module and TBI interface, the corresponding Gn_TXEN and Gn_TXER  
pins need to be boot strapped.

2.3 Frame Engine  
The main function of the frame engine is to forward a frame to its proper destination port or ports. When a frame  
arrives, the frame engine parses the frame header (64 bytes) and formulates a switching request which is sent to  
the search engine to resolve the destination port. The arriving frame is moved to the FDB. After receiving a switch  
response from the search engine, the frame engine performs transmission scheduling based on the frame’s priority.  
The frame engine forwards the frame to the MAC module when the frame is ready to be sent.  
2.4 Search Engine  
The search engine resolves the frame's destination port or ports by searching the appropriate MVTX2603  
databases. To achieve its objective, the search engine may use the destination MAC address, IP multicast address  
(IP multicast packet), and VLAN fields in the packet header. The search engine is also responsible for MAC and  
VLAN learning, assignment of transmission priority based on IEEE 802.1p or IP TOS/DS fields, and port trunking  
functions.  
2.5 LED Interface  
The LED interface provides a serial interface for carrying 24 + 2 port status signals. It can also provide direct status  
pins (6) for the two Gigabit ports.  
A serial output channel provides port status information from the MVTX2603 chips. It requires three additional pins.  
LED_CLK at 12.5 MHz  
LED_SYN a sync pulse that defines the boundary between status frames  
LED_DATA a continuous serial stream of data for all status LEDs that repeats once every frame time  
A non-serial interface is also allowed, but in this case, only the Gigabit ports will have status LEDs.  
A low cost external device (44 pin PAL) is used to decode the serial data and to drive an LED array for display. This  
device can be customized for different needs.  
2.5.1 Port Status  
In the MVTX2603, each port has 8 status indicators, each represented by a single bit. The 8 LED status indicators  
are:  
Bit 0: Flow control  
Bit 1: Transmit data  
Bit 2: Receive data  
Bit 3: Activity (where activity includes either transmission or reception of data)  
Bit 4: Link up  
Bit 5: Speed (1= 100 Mb/s; 0= 10 Mb/s)  
Bit 6: Full-duplex  
Bit 7: Collision  
Eight clocks are required to cycle through the eight status bits for each port.  
When the LED_SYN pulse is asserted, the LED interface will present 256 LED clock cycles with the clock cycles  
providing information for the following ports.  
Port 0 (10/100M): cycles #0 to cycle #7  
Port 1 (10/100M): cycles#8 to cycle #15

2.5.2 LED Interface Timing Diagram  
The signal from the MVTX2603 to the LED decoder is shown in Figure 5.  
Figure 5 - Timing Diagram of LED Interface  
2.6 Internal Memory  
Several internal tables are required and are described as follows:  
Frame Control Block (FCB) - Each FCB entry contains the control information of the associated frame  
stored in the FDB, e.g., frame size, read/write pointer, transmission priority, etc.  
Network Management (NM) Database - The NM database contains the information in the statistics counters  
and MIB.  
MAC address Control Table (MCT) Link Table - The MCT Link Table stores the linked list of MCT entries that  
have collisions in the external MAC Table.  
Note that the external MAC table is located in the external SRAM Memory.

2.7 Timeout Reset Monitor  
The MVTX2603 supports a state machine monitoring block which can trigger a reset if any state machine is  
determined to be stuck in a non-idle state for more than 5 seconds. This feature is enabled via a bootstrap pin  
(TSTOUT11).  
3.0 System Configuration (Stand-alone and Stacking)  
3.1 Management and Configuration  
Only one mode is supported in the MVTX2603: unmanaged. In unmanaged mode, the MVTX2603 has no CPU but  
can be configured by EEPROM using an I2C interface at bootup, or via a synchronous serial interface otherwise.  
In unmanaged mode, the MVTX2603 can be configured by EEPROM (24C02 or compatible) via an I2C interface at  
boot time, or via a synchronous serial interface during operation.  
3.1.1 I2C Interface  
The I²C interface serves the function of configuring the MVTX2603 at boot time. The master is the MVTX2603, and  
the slave is the EEPROM memory.  
The I2C interface uses two bus lines, a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL). The SCL line carries the  
control signals that facilitate the transfer of information from EEPROM to the switch. Data transfer is 8-bit serial and  
bidirectional at 50 Kbps. Data transfer is performed between master and slave IC using a request /  
acknowledgment style of protocol. The master IC generates the timing signals and terminates data transfer. Figure  
6 depicts the data transfer format. The slave address is the memory address of the EEPROM. Refer to “Register  
Definition” on page 60 for I²C address for each register.

Figure 6 - Data Transfer Format for I2C Interface  
3.1.1.1 Start Condition  
Generated by the master (in our case, the MVTX2603). The bus is considered to be busy after the Start condition is  
generated. The Start condition occurs if while the SCL line is High, there is a High-to-Low transition of the SDA line.  
Other than in the Start condition (and Stop condition), the data on the SDA line must be stable during the High  
period of SCL. The High or Low state of SDA can only change when SCL is Low. In addition, when the I2C bus is  
free, both lines are High.  
3.1.1.2 Address  
The first byte after the Start condition determines which slave the master will select. The slave in our case is the  
EEPROM. The first seven bits of the first data byte make up the slave address.  
3.1.1.3 Data Direction  
The eighth bit in the first byte after the Start condition determines the direction (R/W) of the message. A master  
transmitter sets this bit to W; a master receiver sets this bit to R.  
3.1.1.4 Acknowledgment  
Like all clock pulses, the acknowledgment-related clock pulse is generated by the master. However, the transmitter  
releases the SDA line (High) during the acknowledgment clock pulse. Furthermore, the receiver must pull down the  
35  
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.  
MVTX2603  
Data Sheet  
SDA line during the acknowledge pulse so that it remains stable Low during the High period of this clock pulse. An  
acknowledgment pulse follows every byte transfer.  
If a slave receiver does not acknowledge after any byte, then the master generates a Stop condition and aborts the  
transfer.  
If a master receiver does not acknowledge after any byte, then the slave transmitter must release the SDA line to let  
the master generate the Stop condition.  
3.1.1.5 Data  
After the first byte containing the address, all bytes that follow are data bytes. Each byte must be followed by an  
acknowledge bit. Data is transferred MSB first.  
3.1.1.6 Stop Condition  
Generated by the master. The bus is considered to be free after the Stop condition is generated. The Stop condition  
occurs if while the SCL line is High, there is a Low-to-High transition of the SDA line.  
3.1.2 Synchronous Serial Interface  
The synchronous serial interface (SSI) serves the function of configuring the MVTX2603, not at boot time, but via a  
PC. The PC serves as master and the MVTX2603 serves as slave. The protocol for the synchronous serial  
interface is nearly identical to the I2C protocol. The main difference is that there is no acknowledgment bit after  
each byte of data transferred.  
The unmanaged MVTX2603 uses a synchronous serial interface to program the internal registers. To reduce the  
number of signals required, the register address, command and data are shifted in serially through the D0 pin.  
STROBE pin is used as the shift clock. AUTOFD pin is used as data return path.  
Each command consists of four parts.  
START pulse  
Register Address  
Read or Write command  
Data to be written or read back  
Any command can be aborted in the middle by sending a ABORT pulse to the MVTX2603.  
A START command is detected when D0 is sampled high when STROBE rise and D0 is sampled low when  
STROBE fall.  
An ABORT command is detected when D0 is sampled low when STROBE rise and D0 is sampled high when  
STROBE fall.  
All registers in MVTX2603 can be modified through this synchronous serial interface.

3.2 Stacking  
The MVTX2603 supports expanded port count by providing stacking capabilities. The Gigabit port is used as the  
link between boxes, and each Gigabit port can be accelerated to 2 Gbps, if desired (in conjunction with ZBT  
memory domains at 125 MHz). If both Gigabit ports are used in 2G-mode for this purpose, this provides a total of  
4 Gbps of bandwidth between devices.  
In addition to a standard back-to-back configuration of devices, the MVTX2603 also provides more powerful  
stacking alternatives:  
Unidirectional ring configuration. Up to 32 devices. Devices are connected by one Gigabit link, which can be  
accelerated to 2 Gbps, if desired. Flow control cannot be enabled in this configuration, because of the  
inherent inefficiency in sending flow control messages upstream in a unidirectional ring.

Bidirectional ring configuration. Up to 32 devices. Devices are connected by two Gigabit links, forming two  
rings, one clockwise and one counter clockwise. The total outgoing bandwidth can be as much as 4 Gbps.  
Flow control may be enabled in this configuration. The outgoing direction of a packet (clockwise or counter  
clockwise) is selected using a hash key for load distribution. The hash key can be a function of source MAC  
address, destination MAC address, both MAC addresses, or source port. This configuration provides fault-  
tolerance when one of the stacking links fail.

4.0 Data Forwarding Protocol  
4.1 Unicast Data Frame Forwarding  
When a frame arrives, it is assigned a handle in memory by the Frame Control Buffer Manager (FCB Manager). An  
FCB handle will always be available because of advance buffer reservations.  
The memory (SRAM) interface consists of two 64-bit buses, connected to two SRAM banks, A and B. The Receive  
DMA (RxDMA) is responsible for multiplexing the data and the address. On a port’s “turn,” the RxDMA will move 8  
bytes (or up to the end-of-frame) from the port’s associated RxFIFO into memory (Frame Data Buffer, or FDB).  
Once an entire frame has been moved to the FDB, and a good end-of-frame (EOF) has been received, the Rx  
interface makes a switch request. The RxDMA arbitrates among multiple switch requests.  
The switch request consists of the first 64 bytes of a frame, containing among other things, the source and  
destination MAC addresses of the frame. The search engine places a switch response in the switch response  
queue of the frame engine when done. Among other information, the search engine will have resolved the  
destination port of the frame and will have determined that the frame is unicast.  
After processing the switch response, the Transmission Queue Manager (TxQ manager) of the frame engine is  
responsible for notifying the destination port that it has a frame to forward to it. But first, the TxQ manager has to  
decide whether or not to drop the frame, based on global FDB reservations and usage, as well as TxQ occupancy  
at the destination. If the frame is not dropped, then the TxQ manager links the frame’s FCB to the correct per-port-  
per-class TxQ. Unicast TxQ’s are linked lists of transmission jobs, represented by their associated frames’ FCB’s.  
There is one linked list for each transmission class for each port. There are 4 transmission classes for each of the  
24 10/100 M ports and 8 classes for each of the two Gigabit ports – a total of 112 unicast queues.  
The TxQ manager is responsible for scheduling transmission among the queues representing different classes for a  
port. When the port control module determines that there is room in the MAC Transmission FIFO (TxFIFO) for  
another frame, it requests the handle of a new frame from the TxQ manager. The TxQ manager chooses among  
the head-of-line (HOL) frames from the per-class queues for that port using a Zarlink Semiconductor scheduling  
algorithm.  
The Transmission DMA (TxDMA) is responsible for multiplexing the data and the address. On a port’s turn, the  
TxDMA will move 8 bytes (or up to the EOF) from memory into the port’s associated TxFIFO. After reading the EOF,  
the port control requests a FCB release for that frame. The TxDMA arbitrates among multiple buffer release  
requests.  
The frame is transmitted from the TxFIFO to the line.  
4.2 Multicast Data Frame Forwarding  
After receiving the switch response, the TxQ manager has to make the dropping decision. A global decision to drop  
can be made, based on global FDB utilization and reservations. If so, then the FCB is released and the frame is  
dropped. In addition, a selective decision to drop can be made, based on the TxQ occupancy at some subset of  
the multicast packet’s destinations. If so, then the frame is dropped at some destinations but not others and the  
FCB is not released.  
If the frame is not dropped at a particular destination port, then the TxQ manager formats an entry in the multicast  
queue for that port and class. Multicast queues are physical queues (unlike the linked lists for unicast frames).  
There are 2 multicast queues for each of the 24 10/100 M ports. The queue with higher priority has room for 32  
entries and the queue with lower priority has room for 64 entries. There are 4 multicast queues for each of the two  
Gigabit ports. The size of the queues are: 32 entries (higher priority queue), 32 entries, 32 entries and 64 entries  
(lower priority queue). There is one multicast queue for every two priority classes. For the 10/100 M ports to map  
the 8 transmit priorities into 2 multicast queues, the 2 LSB are discarded. For the Gigabit ports to map the 8  
transmit priorities into 4 multicast queues, the LSB are discarded.

Data Sheet  
During scheduling, the TxQ manager treats the unicast queue and the multicast queue of the same class as one  
logical queue. The older head of line of the two queues is forwarded first.  
The port control requests a FCB release only after the EOF for the multicast frame has been read by all ports to  
which the frame is destined.  
5.0 Memory Interface  
5.1 Overview  
The MVTX2603 provides two 64-bit wide SRAM banks, SRAM Bank A and SRAM Bank B. Each DMA can read and  
write from both bank A and bank B. The following figure provides an overview of the MVTX2603 SRAM banks.

Figure 7 - SRAM Interface Block Diagram (DMAs for 10/100 Ports Only)  
Because the bus for each bank is 64 bits wide, frames are broken into 8-byte granules, written to and read from  
memory. The first 8-byte granule gets written to Bank A, the second 8-byte granule gets written to Bank B and so on  
in alternating fashion. When reading frames from memory, the same procedure is followed, first from A, then from B  
and so on.  
The reading and writing from alternating memory banks can be performed with minimal waste of memory  
bandwidth. What’s the worst case? For any speed port, in the worst case, a 1-byte-long EOF granule gets written to  
Bank A. This means that a 7-byte segment of Bank A bandwidth is idle, and furthermore, the next 8-byte segment  
of Bank B bandwidth is idle, because the first 8 bytes of the next frame will be written to Bank A, not B. This  
scenario results in a maximum 15 bytes of waste per frame, which is always acceptable because the interframe gap  
is 20 bytes.  
The CPU management port gets treated like any other port, reading and writing to alternating memory banks  
starting with Bank A. The VLAN Index Mapping Table and Mac Address Table are duplicated in Bank A and B.  
When the CPU writes an entry to the VLAN Index Mapping Table it has to write the same data in bank A and bank  
B. Search engine data is written to both banks in parallel. In this way, a search engine read operation can be  
performed by either bank at any time without a problem.

5.2 Memory Requirements  
To speed up searching and decrease memory latency, the external MAC address database is duplicated in both  
memory banks. To support 64 K MAC address, 2 MB/bank memory is required.  
Up to 2 K Ethernet frame buffers are supported and they will use 3 MB of memory. Each frame uses 1536 bytes.  
The maximum system memory requirement is 4 MB. If less memory is desired, the configuration can scale down.

5.2.1 ZBT Support  
The MVTX2603 supports Zero Bus Turnaround (ZBT) SRAM. ZBT is a synchronous SRAM architecture that is  
optimized for networking and telecommunications applications. It can significantly increase the switch’s internal  
bandwidth when compared to standard Pipeline SyncBurst SRAM.  
The ZBT architecture is optimized for switching and other applications with highly random READs and WRITEs.  
ZBT SRAMs eliminate all idle cycles when turning the data bus around from a WRITE operation to a READ  
operation (or vice versa). This feature results in dramatic performance improvements in systems that have such  
traffic patterns (that is, frequent and random read and write access to the SRAM).  
ZBT memory is only needed when the MVTX2603 is configured in 2G-mode operation. Some limitations of the 2G-  
mode and/or ZBT memory usage is highlighted below:  
tag-based VLAN is not support  
IP multicast switching is not supported  
only port-based priority mapping is supported  
Please refer to the 2G-Mode and ZBT-SRAM Memory Application Note, MSAN-212, for further details.

6.0 Search Engine  
6.1 Search Engine Overview  
The MVTX2603 search engine is optimized for high throughput searching, with enhanced features to support:  
Up to 64 K MAC addresses  
Port-based VLAN  
3 groups of port trunking (1 for the two Gigabit ports and 2 others)  
Traffic classification into 4 (or 8 for Gigabit) transmission priorities and 2 drop precedence levels  
Flooding, Broadcast, Multicast Storm Control  
MAC address learning and aging  
6.2 Basic Flow  
Shortly after a frame enters the MVTX2603 and is written to the Frame Data Buffer (FDB), the frame engine  
generates a Switch Request, which is sent to the search engine. The switch request consists of the first 64 bytes of  
the frame, which contain all the necessary information for the search engine to perform its task. When the search  
engine is done, it writes to the Switch Response Queue and the frame engine uses the information provided in that  
queue for scheduling and forwarding.  
In performing its task, the search engine extracts and compresses the useful information from the 64-byte switch  
request. Among the information extracted are the source and destination MAC addresses, the transmission and  
discard priorities, whether the frame is unicast or multicast, and VLAN ID. Requests are sent to the external SRAM  
to locate the associated entries in the external hash table.  
44  
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.  
MVTX2603  
Data Sheet  
When all the information has been collected from external SRAM, the search engine has to compare the MAC  
address on the current entry with the MAC address for which it is searching. If it is not a match, the process is  
repeated on the internal MCT Table. All MCT entries other than the first of each linked list are maintained internal to  
the chip. If the desired MAC address is still not found, then the result is either learning (source MAC address  
unknown) or flooding (destination MAC address unknown).  
In addition, VLAN information is used to select the correct set of destination ports for the frame (for multicast), or to  
verify that the frame’s destination port is associated with the VLAN (for unicast).  
If the destination MAC address belongs to a port trunk, then the trunk number is retrieved instead of the port  
number. But on which port of the trunk will the frame be transmitted? This is easily computed using a hash of the  
source and destination MAC addresses.  
When all the information is compiled, the switch response is generated, as stated earlier. The search engine also  
interacts with the CPU with regard to learning and aging.  
6.3 Search, Learning, and Aging  
6.3.1 MAC Search  
The search block performs source MAC address and destination MAC address searching. As we indicated earlier,  
if a match is not found, then the next entry in the linked list must be examined and so on until a match is found or  
the end of the list is reached.  
In port-based VLAN mode, a bitmap is used to determine whether the frame should be forwarded to the outgoing  
port. The bitmap is not dynamic. Ports cannot enter and exit groups because of real-time learning made by a CPU.  
The MAC search block is also responsible for updating the source MAC address timestamp, used for aging.  
6.3.2 Learning  
The learning module learns new MAC addresses and performs port change operations on the MCT database. The  
goal of learning is to update this database as the networking environment changes over time. Learning and port  
change will be performed based on memory slot availability only.  
6.3.3 Aging  
Aging time is controlled by register 400h and 401h.  
The aging module scans and ages MCT entries based on a programmable “age out” time interval. As we indicated  
earlier, the search module updates the source MAC address timestamps for each frame it processes. When an  
entry is ready to be aged, the entry is removed from the table.  
6.4 Port--Based VLAN  
An administrator can use the PVMAP registers to configure the MVTX2603 for port-based VLAN (See “Register  
Definition” on page 60.). For example, ports 1-3 might be assigned to the Marketing VLAN, ports 4-6 to the  
Engineering VLAN and ports 7-9 to the Administrative VLAN. The MVTX2603 determines the VLAN membership of  
each packet by noting the port on which it arrives. From there, the MVTX2603 determines which outgoing port(s)  
is/are eligible to transmit each packet or whether the packet should be discarded.

For example, in the above table, a "1" denotes that an outgoing port is eligible to receive a packet from an incoming  
port. A 0 (zero) denotes that an outgoing port is not eligible to receive a packet from an incoming port.  
In this example:  
Data packets received at port #0 are eligible to be sent to outgoing ports 1 and 2.  
Data packets received at port #1 are eligible to be sent to outgoing ports 0 and 2.  
Data packets received at port #2 are NOT eligible to be sent to ports 0 and 1.  
6.5 Quality of Service  
Quality of Service (QoS) refers to the ability of a network to provide better service to selected network traffic over  
various technologies. Primary goals of QoS include dedicated bandwidth, controlled jitter and latency (required by  
some real-time and interactive traffic) and improved loss characteristics.  
Traditional Ethernet networks have had no prioritization of traffic. Without a protocol to prioritize or differentiate  
traffic, a service level known as “best effort” attempts to get all the packets to their intended destinations with  
minimum delay; however, there are no guarantees. In a congested network or when a low-performance  
switch/router is overloaded, “best effort” becomes unsuitable for delay-sensitive traffic and mission-critical data  
transmission.  
The advent of QoS for packet-based systems accommodates the integration of delay-sensitive video and  
multimedia traffic onto any existing Ethernet network. It also alleviates the congestion issues that have previously  
plagued such “best effort” networking systems. QoS provides Ethernet networks with the breakthrough technology  
to prioritize traffic and ensure that a certain transmission will have a guaranteed minimum amount of bandwidth.  
Extensive core QoS mechanisms are built into the MVTX2603 architecture to ensure policy enforcement and  
buffering of the ingress port, as well as weighted fair-queue (WFQ) scheduling at the egress port.  
In the MVTX2603, QoS-based policies sort traffic into a small number of classes and mark the packets accordingly.  
The QoS identifier provides specific treatment to traffic in different classes, so that different quality of service is  
provided to each class. Frame and packet scheduling and discarding policies are determined by the class to which  
the frames and packets belong. For example, the overall service given to frames and packets in the premium class  
will be better than that given to the standard class; the premium class is expected to experience lower loss rate or  
delay.  
46  
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.  
MVTX2603  
Data Sheet  
The MVTX2603 supports the following QoS techniques:  
In a port-based setup, any station connected to the same physical port of the switch will have the same  
transmit priority.  
In a tag-based setup, a 3-bit field in the VLAN tag provides the priority of the packet. This priority can be  
mapped to different queues in the switch to provide QoS.  
In a TOS/DS-based set up, TOS stands for “Type of Service” that may include “minimize delay,” “maximize  
throughput,” or “maximize reliability.” Network nodes may select routing paths or forwarding behaviours that  
are suitably engineered to satisfy the service request.  
In a logical port-based set up, a logical port provides the application information of the packet. Certain  
applications are more sensitive to delays than others; using logical ports to classify packets can help speed  
up delay sensitive applications, such as VoIP.

7.0 Frame Engine  
7.1 Data Forwarding Summary  
When a frame enters the device at the RxMAC, the RxDMA will move the data from the MAC RxFIFO to the FDB.  
Data is moved in 8-byte granules in conjunction with the scheme for the SRAM interface.  
A switch request is sent to the Search Engine. The Search Engine processes the switch request and a switch  
response is sent back to the Frame Engine. This response indicates whether the frame is unicast or multicast and  
its destination port or ports.  
A Transmission Scheduling Request is sent in the form of a signal notifying the TxQ manager. Upon receiving a  
Transmission Scheduling Request, the device will format an entry in the appropriate Transmission Scheduling  
Queue (TxSch Q) or Queues. There are 4 TxSch Q for each 10/100 M port (and 8 per Gigabit port), one for each  
priority. Creation of a queue entry either involves linking a new job to the appropriate linked list if unicast or adding  
an entry to a physical queue if multicast.  
47  
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.  
MVTX2603  
Data Sheet  
When the port is ready to accept the next frame, the TxQ manager will get the head-of-line (HOL) entry of one of  
the TxSch Qs, according to the transmission scheduling algorithm (to ensure per-class quality of service). The  
unicast linked list and the multicast queue for the same port-class pair are treated as one logical queue. The older  
HOL between the two queues goes first. For 10/100 M ports multicast queue 0 is associated with unicast queue 0  
and multicast queue 1 is associated with unicast queue 2. For Gigabit ports multicast queue 0 is associated with  
unicast queue 0, multicast queue 1 with unicast queue 2, multicast queue 2 with unicast queue 4 and multicast  
queue 3 with unicast queue 6.  
The TxDMA will pull frame data from the memory and forward it granule-by-granule to the MAC TxFIFO of the  
destination port.  
7.2 Frame Engine Details  
This section briefly describes the functions of each of the modules of the MVTX2603 frame engine.  
7.2.1 FCB Manager  
The FCB manager allocates FCB handles to incoming frames and releases FCB handles upon frame departure.  
The FCB manager is also responsible for enforcing buffer reservations and limits. In addition, the FCB manager is  
responsible for buffer aging and for linking unicast forwarding jobs to their correct TxSch Q. The buffer aging can be  
enabled or disabled by the bootstrap pin and the aging time is defined in register FCBAT.  
7.2.2 Rx Interface  
The Rx interface is mainly responsible for communicating with the RxMAC. It keeps track of the start and end of  
frame and frame status (good or bad). Upon receiving an end of frame that is good, the Rx interface makes a switch  
request.  
7.2.3 RxDMA  
The RxDMA arbitrates among switch requests from each Rx interface. It also buffers the first 64 bytes of each  
frame for use by the search engine when the switch request has been made.  
7.2.4 TxQ Manager  
First, the TxQ manager checks the per-class queue status and global reserved resource situation and using this  
information makes the frame dropping decision after receiving a switch response. If the decision is not to drop, the  
TxQ manager requests that the FCB manager link the unicast frame’s FCB to the correct per-port-per-class TxQ. If  
multicast, the TxQ manager writes to the multicast queue for that port and class. The TxQ manager can also trigger  
source port flow control for the incoming frame’s source if that port is flow control enabled. Second, the TxQ  
manager handles transmission scheduling; it schedules transmission among the queues representing different  
classes for a port. Once a frame has been scheduled, the TxQ manager reads the FCB information and writes to  
the correct port control module.  
7.2.5 Port Control  
The port control module calculates the SRAM read address for the frame currently being transmitted. It also writes  
start of frame information and an end of frame flag to the MAC TxFIFO. When transmission is done, the port control  
module requests that the buffer be released.  
7.2.6 TxDMA  
The TxDMA multiplexes data and address from port control and arbitrates among buffer release requests from the  
port control modules.

8.0 Quality of Service and Flow Control  
Data Sheet  
8.1 Model  
Quality of service is an all-encompassing term for which different people have different interpretations. In general,  
the approach to quality of service described here assumes that we do not know the offered traffic pattern. We also  
assume that the incoming traffic is not policed or shaped. Furthermore, we assume that the network manager  
knows his applications, such as voice, file transfer, or web browsing and their relative importance. The manager  
can then subdivide the applications into classes and set up a service contract with each. The contract may consist  
of bandwidth or latency assurances per class. Sometimes it may even reflect an estimate of the traffic mix offered to  
the switch. As an added bonus, although we do not assume anything about the arrival pattern, if the incoming traffic  
is policed or shaped we may be able to provide additional assurances about our switch’s performance.  
Table 7 shows examples of QoS applications with three transmission priorities, but best effort (P0) traffic may form  
a fourth class with no bandwidth or latency assurances. Gigabit ports actually have eight total transmission  
priorities.

Table 7 - Two-dimensional World Traffic  
A class is capable of offering traffic that exceeds the contracted bandwidth. A well-behaved class offers traffic at a  
rate no greater than the agreed-upon rate. By contrast, a misbehaving class offers traffic that exceeds the agreed-  
upon rate. A misbehaving class is formed from an aggregation of misbehaving microflows. To achieve high link  
utilization, a misbehaving class is allowed to use any idle bandwidth. However, such leniency must not degrade the  
quality of service (QoS) received by well-behaved classes.  
As Table 7 illustrates, the six traffic types may each have their own distinct properties and applications. As shown,  
classes may receive bandwidth assurances or latency bounds. In the table, P3, the highest transmission class,  
requires that all frames be transmitted within 1 ms, and receives 50% of the 100 Mbps of bandwidth at that port.  
Best-effort (P0) traffic forms a fourth class that only receives bandwidth when none of the other classes have any  
traffic to offer. It is also possible to add a fourth class that has strict priority over the other three; if this class has

even one frame to transmit, then it goes first. In the MVTX2603, each 10/100 M port will support four total classes  
and each Gigabit port will support eight classes. We will discuss the various modes of scheduling these classes in  
the next section.  
In addition, each transmission class has two subclasses, high-drop and low-drop. Well-behaved users should rarely  
lose packets. But poorly behaved users – users who send frames at too high a rate – will encounter frame loss and  
the first to be discarded will be high-drop. Of course, if this is insufficient to resolve the congestion, eventually some  
low-drop frames are dropped and then all frames in the worst case.  
Table 7 shows that different types of applications may be placed in different boxes in the traffic table. For example,  
casual web browsing fits into the category of high-loss, high-latency-tolerant traffic, whereas VoIP fits into the  
category of low-loss, low-latency traffic.  
8.2 Four QoS Configurations  
There are four basic pieces to QoS scheduling in the MVTX2603: strict priority (SP), delay bound, weighted fair  
queuing (WFQ), and best effort (BE). Using these four pieces, there are four different modes of operation as shown  
in the tables below. For 10/100 M ports, the following registers select these modes:  
QOSC24 [7:6]_CREDIT_C00  
QOSC28 [7:6]_CREDIT_C10

Table 9 - Four QoS Configurations for a Gigabit Port  
The default configuration for a 10/100 M port is three delay-bounded queues and one best-effort queue. The delay  
bounds per class are 0,8 ms for P3, 3.2 ms for P2, and 12.8 ms for P1. For a Gigabit port, we have a default of six  
delay-bounded queues and two best-effort queues. The delay bounds for a Gigabit port are 0.16 ms for P7 and P6,  
0.32 ms for P5, 0.64 ms for P4, 1.28 ms for P3, and 2.56 ms for P2. For a Gigabit port, where there are two best-  
effort queues, P1 has strict priority over P0. Best effort traffic is only served when there is no delay-bounded traffic  
to be served.  
50  
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.  
MVTX2603  
Data Sheet  
We have a second configuration for a 10/100 M port in which there is one strict priority queue, two delay bounded  
queues and one best effort queue. The delay bounds per class are 3.2 ms for P2 and 12.8 ms for P1. If the user is  
to choose this configuration, it is important that P3 (SP) traffic be either policed or implicitly bounded (e.g., if the  
incoming P3 traffic is very light and predictably patterned). Strict priority traffic, if not admission-controlled at a prior  
stage to the MVTX2603, can have an adverse effect on all other classes’ performance. For a Gigabit port, P7 and  
P6 are both SP classes and P7 has strict priority over P6. In this case, the delay bounds per class are 0.32 ms for  
P5, 0.64 ms for P4, 1.28 ms for P3, and 2.56 ms for P2.  
The third configuration for a 10/100 M port contains one strict priority queue and three queues receiving a  
bandwidth partition via WFQ. As in the second configuration, strict priority traffic needs to be carefully controlled. In  
the fourth configuration, all queues are served using a WFQ service discipline.  
8.3 Delay Bound  
In the absence of a sophisticated QoS server and signaling protocol, the MVTX2603 may not know the mix of  
incoming traffic ahead of time. To cope with this uncertainty, our delay assurance algorithm dynamically adjusts its  
scheduling and dropping criteria, guided by the queue occupancies and the due dates of their head-of-line (HOL)  
frames. As a result, we assure latency bounds for all admitted frames with high confidence, even in the presence of  
system-wide congestion. Our algorithm identifies misbehaving classes and intelligently discards frames at no  
detriment to well-behaved classes. Our algorithm also differentiates between high-drop and low-drop traffic with a  
weighted random early drop (WRED) approach. Random early dropping prevents congestion by randomly dropping  
a percentage of high-drop frames even before the chip’s buffers are completely full, while still largely sparing low-  
drop frames. This allows high-drop frames to be discarded early, as a sacrifice for future low-drop frames. Finally,  
the delay bound algorithm also achieves bandwidth partitioning among classes.  
8.4 Strict Priority and Best Effort  
When strict priority is part of the scheduling algorithm, if a queue has even one frame to transmit, it goes first. Two  
of our four QoS configurations include strict priority queues. The goal is for strict priority classes to be used for IETF  
expedited forwarding (EF), where performance guarantees are required. As we have indicated, it is important that  
strict priority traffic be either policed or implicitly bounded, so as to keep from harming other traffic classes.  
When best effort is part of the scheduling algorithm, a queue only receives bandwidth when none of the other  
classes have any traffic to offer. Two of our four QoS configurations include best effort queues. The goal is for best  
effort classes to be used for non-essential traffic, because we provide no assurances about best effort performance.  
However, in a typical network setting, much best effort traffic will indeed be transmitted and with an adequate  
degree of expediency.  
Because we do not provide any delay assurances for best effort traffic, we do not enforce latency by dropping best  
effort traffic. Furthermore, because we assume that strict priority traffic is carefully controlled before entering the  
MVTX2603, we do not enforce a fair bandwidth partition by dropping strict priority traffic. To summarize, dropping to  
enforce bandwidth or delay does not apply to strict priority or best effort queues. We only drop frames from best  
effort and strict priority queues when global buffer resources become scarce.  
8.5 Weighted Fair Queuing  
In some environments – for example, in an environment in which delay assurances are not required, but precise  
bandwidth partitioning on small time scales is essential, WFQ may be preferable to a delay-bounded scheduling  
discipline. The MVTX2603 provides the user with a WFQ option with the understanding that delay assurances can  
not be provided if the incoming traffic pattern is uncontrolled. The user sets four WFQ “weights” (eight for Gigabit  
ports) such that all weights are whole numbers and sum to 64. This provides per-class bandwidth partitioning with  
error within 2%.  
In WFQ mode, though we do not assure frame latency, the MVTX2603 still retains a set of dropping rules that helps  
to prevent congestion and trigger higher level protocol end-to-end flow control.  
51  
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.  
MVTX2603  
Data Sheet  
As before, when strict priority is combined with WFQ, we do not have special dropping rules for the strict priority  
queues, because the input traffic pattern is assumed to be carefully controlled at a prior stage. However, we do  
indeed drop frames from SP queues for global buffer management purposes. In addition, queue P0 for a 10/100 M  
port (and queues P0 and P1 for a Gigabit port) are treated as best effort from a dropping perspective, though they  
still are assured a percentage of bandwidth from a WFQ scheduling perspective. What this means is that these  
particular queues are only affected by dropping when the global buffer count becomes low.  
8.6 Shaper  
Although traffic shaping is not a primary function of the MVTX2603, the chip does implement a shaper for expedited  
forwarding (EF). Our goal in shaping is to control the peak and average rate of traffic exiting the MVTX2603.  
Shaping is limited to the two Gigabit ports only, and only to class P6 (the second highest priority). This means that  
class P6 will be the class used for EF traffic. If shaping is enabled for P6, then P6 traffic must be scheduled using  
strict priority. With reference to Table 7, only the middle two QoS configurations may be used.  
Peak rate is set using a programmable whole number, no greater than 64. For example, if the setting is 32, then the  
peak rate for shaped traffic is 32/64 * 1000 Mbps = 500 Mbps. Average rate is also a programmable whole number,  
no greater than 64 and no greater than the peak rate. For example, if the setting is 16, then the average rate for  
shaped traffic is 16/64 * 1000 Mbps = 250 Mbps. As a consequence of the above settings in our example, shaped  
traffic will exit the MVTX2603 at a rate always less than 500 Mbps and averaging no greater than 250 Mbps. See  
Programming QoS Register application note for more information.  
Also, when shaping is enabled, it is possible for a P6 queue to explode in length if fed by a greedy source. The  
reason is that a shaper is by definition not work-conserving; that is, it may hold back from sending a packet even if  
the line is idle. Though we do have global resource management, we do nothing to prevent this situation locally. We  
assume SP traffic is policed at a prior stage to the MVTX2603.  
8.7 Rate Control  
The MVTX2603 provides a rate control function on its 10/100 M ports. This rate control function applies to the  
outgoing traffic aggregate on each 10/100 M port. It provides a way of reducing the outgoing average rate below full  
wire speed. Note that the rate control function does not shape or manipulate any particular traffic class.  
Furthermore, though the average rate of the port can be controlled with this function, the peak rate will still be full  
line rate.  
Two principal parameters are used to control the average rate for a 10/100 M port. A port’s rate is controlled by  
allowing, on average, M bytes to be transmitted every N microseconds. Both of these values are programmable.  
The user can program the number of bytes in 8-byte increments and the time may be set in units of 10 ms.  
The value of M/N will, of course, equal the average data rate of the outgoing traffic aggregate on the given  
10/100 M port. Although there are many (M,N) pairs that will provide the same average data rate performance, the  
smaller the time interval N, the “smoother” the output pattern will appear.  
In addition to controlling the average data rate on a 10/100 M port, the rate control function also manages the  
maximum burst size at wire speed. The maximum burst size can be considered the memory of the rate control  
mechanism; if the line has been idle for a long time, to what extent can the port “make up for lost time” by  
transmitting a large burst? This value is also programmable, measured in 8-byte increments.  
Example: Suppose that the user wants to restrict Fast Ethernet port P’s average departure rate to 32 Mbps – 32%  
of line rate – when the average is taken over a period of 10 ms. In an interval of 10 ms, exactly 40000 bytes can be  
transmitted at an average rate of 32 Mbps.

So how do we set the parameters? The rate control parameters are contained in an internal RAM block accessible  
through the CPU port (See Programming QoS Registers application note and Processor interface application note).

Maximum burst size  
Number of bytes  
As we indicated earlier, the number of bytes is measured in 8-byte increments, so the 16-bit field “Number of bytes”  
should be set to 40000/8, or 5000. In addition, the time interval has to be indicated in units of 10 ms. Though we  
want the average data rate on port P to be 32 Mbps when measured over an interval of 10 ms, we can also adjust  
the maximum number of bytes that can be transmitted at full line rate in any single burst. Suppose we wish this limit  
to be 12 kilobytes. The number of bytes is measured in 8-byte increments, so the 16-bit field “Maximum burst size”  
is set to 12000/8, or 1500.  
8.8 WRED Drop Threshold Management Support  
To avoid congestion, the Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) logic drops packets according to specified  
parameters. The following table summarizes the behavior of the WRED logic.

Table 10 - WRED Drop Thresholds  
Px is the total byte count, in the priority queue x. The WRED logic has three drop levels, depending on the value of  
N, which is based on the number of bytes in the priority queues. If delay bound scheduling is used, N equals  
P3*16+P2*4+P1. If using WFQ scheduling, N equals P3+P2+P1. Each drop level from one to three has defined  
high-drop and low-drop percentages, which indicate the minimum and maximum percentages of the data that can  
be discarded. The X, Y Z percent can be programmed by the register RDRC0, RDRC1. In Level 3, all packets are  
dropped if the bytes in each priority queue exceed the threshold. Parameters A, B, C are the byte count thresholds  
for each priority queue. They can be programmed by the QOS control register (refer to the register group 5).  
See Programming QoS Registers Application Note, ZLAN-05, for more information.  
8.9 Buffer Management  
Because the number of FDB slots is a scarce resource and because we want to ensure that one misbehaving  
source port or class cannot harm the performance of a well-behaved source port or class, we introduce the concept  
of buffer management into the MVTX2603. Our buffer management scheme is designed to divide the total buffer  
space into numerous reserved regions and one shared pool as shown in Figure 15 on page 54.  
As shown in the figure, the FDB pool is divided into several parts. A reserved region for temporary frames stores  
frames prior to receiving a switch response. Such a temporary region is necessary, because when the frame first  
enters the MVTX2603, its destination port and class are as yet unknown, and so the decision to drop or not needs  
to be temporarily postponed. This ensures that every frame can be received first before subjecting them to the  
frame drop discipline after classifying.  
53  
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.  
MVTX2603  
Data Sheet  
Six reserved sections, one for each of the first six priority classes, ensure a programmable number of FDB slots per  
class. The lowest two classes do not receive any buffer reservation. Furthermore, even for 10/100M ports, a frame  
is stored in the region of the FDB corresponding to its class. As we have indicated, the eight classes use only four  
transmission scheduling queues for 10/100 M ports, but as far as buffer usage is concerned there are still eight  
distinguishable classes.  
Another segment of the FDB reserves space for each of the ports — 26 ports for Ethernet. Two parameters can be  
set, one for the source port reservation for 10/100 M ports, and one for the source port reservation for Gigabit ports.  
These reserved regions make sure that no well-behaved source port can be blocked by another misbehaving  
source port.  
In addition, there is a shared pool, which can store any type of frame. The frame engine allocates the frames first in  
the six priority sections. When the priority section is full or the packet has priority 1 or 0, the frame is allocated in the  
shared poll. Once the shared poll is full the frames are allocated in the section reserved for the source port.  
The following registers define the size of each section of the Frame data Buffer:

8.9.1 Dropping When Buffers Are Scarce  
Summarizing the two examples of local dropping discussed earlier in this chapter:  
If a queue is a delay-bounded queue, we have a multi-level WRED drop scheme designed to control delay  
and partition bandwidth in case of congestion.  
If a queue is a WFQ-scheduled queue, we have a multi-level WRED drop scheme designed to prevent  
congestion.  
In addition to these reasons for dropping, we also drop frames when global buffer space becomes scarce. The  
function of buffer management is to make sure that such dropping causes as little blocking as possible.  
8.10 Flow Control Basics  
Because frame loss is unacceptable for some applications, the MVTX2603 provides a flow control option. When  
flow control is enabled, scarcity of buffer space in the switch may trigger a flow control signal; this signal tells a  
source port that is sending a packet to this switch, to temporarily hold off.  
While flow control offers the clear benefit of no packet loss, it also introduces a problem for quality of service. When  
a source port receives an Ethernet flow control signal, all microflows originating at that port, well-behaved or not,  
are halted. A single packet destined for a congested output can block other packets destined for uncongested  
outputs. The resulting head-of-line blocking phenomenon means that quality of service cannot be assured with high  
confidence when flow control is enabled.  
In the MVTX2603, each source port can independently have flow control enabled or disabled. For flow control  
enabled ports, by default all frames are treated as lowest priority during transmission scheduling. This is done so  
that those frames are not exposed to the WRED Dropping scheme. Frames from flow control enabled ports feed to  
only one queue at the destination, the queue of lowest priority. This means that if flow control is enabled for a given  
source port then we can guarantee that no packets originating from that port will be lost but at the possible expense  
of minimum bandwidth or maximum delay assurances. In addition, these “downgraded” frames may only use the  
shared pool or the per-source reserved pool in the FDB; frames from flow control enabled sources may not use  
reserved FDB slots for the highest six classes (P2-P7).  
The MVTX2603 does provide a system-wide option of permitting normal QoS scheduling (and buffer use) for  
frames originating from flow control enabled ports. When this programmable option is active, it is possible that  
some packets may be dropped even though flow control is on. The reason is that intelligent packet dropping is a  
major component of the MVTX2603’s approach to ensuring bounded delay and minimum bandwidth for high priority  
flows.  
8.10.1 Unicast Flow Control  
For unicast frames, flow control is triggered by source port resource availability. Recall that the MVTX2603’s buffer  
management scheme allocates a reserved number of FDB slots for each source port. If a programmed number of a  
source port’s reserved FDB slots have been used then flow control Xoff is triggered.  
Xon is triggered when a port is currently being flow controlled and all of that port’s reserved FDB slots have been  
released.  
Note that the MVTX2603’s per-source-port FDB reservations assure that a source port that sends a single frame to  
a congested destination will not be flow controlled.  
55  
Zarlink Semiconductor Inc.  
MVTX2603  
Data Sheet  
8.10.2 Multicast Flow Control  
In unmanaged mode, flow control for multicast frames is triggered by a global buffer counter. When the system  
exceeds a programmable threshold of multicast packets Xoff is triggered. Xon is triggered when the system returns  
below this threshold.  
In managed mode, per-VLAN flow control is used for multicast frames. In this case, flow control is triggered by  
congestion at the destination. How so? The MVTX2603 checks each destination to which a multicast packet is  
headed. For each destination port, the occupancy of the lowest-priority transmission multicast queue (measured in  
number of frames) is compared against a programmable congestion threshold. If congestion is detected at even  
one of the packet’s destinations then Xoff is triggered.  
In addition, each source port has a 26-bit port map recording which port or ports of the multicast frame’s fanout  
were congested at the time Xoff was triggered. All ports are continuously monitored for congestion and a port is  
identified as uncongested when its queue occupancy falls below a fixed threshold. When all those ports that were  
originally marked as congested in the port map have become uncongested, then Xon is triggered and the 26-bit  
vector is reset to zero.  
The MVTX2603 also provides the option of disabling VLAN multicast flow control.  
Note: If per-Port flow control is on, QoS performance will be affected.

9.0 Port Trunking  
9.1 Features and Restrictions  
A port group (i.e., trunk) can include up to 4 physical ports but when using stack all of the ports in a group must be  
in the same MVTX2603.  
The two Gigabit ports may also be trunked together. There are three trunk groups total including the option to trunk  
Gigabit ports.  
Load distribution among the ports in a trunk for unicast is performed using hashing based on source MAC address  
and destination MAC address. Three other options include source MAC address only, destination MAC address  
only and source port (in bidirectional ring mode only). Load distribution for multicast is performed similarly.  
The MVTX2603 also provides a safe fail-over mode for port trunking automatically. If one of the ports in the trunking  
group goes down, the MVTX2603 will automatically redistribute the traffic over to the remaining ports in the trunk in  
unmanaged mode.  
9.2 Unicast Packet Forwarding  
The search engine finds the destination MCT entry, and if the status field says that the destination port found  
belongs to a trunk, then the group number is retrieved instead of the port number. In addition, if the source address  
belongs to a trunk then the source port’s trunk membership register is checked.  
A hash key, based on some combination of the source and destination MAC addresses for the current packet  
selects the appropriate forwarding port as specified in the Trunk_Hash registers.

9.3 Multicast Packet Forwarding  
For multicast packet forwarding, the device must determine the proper set of ports from which to transmit the  
packet based on the hash key.  
Two functions are required in order to distribute multicast packets to the appropriate destination ports in a port  
trunking environment.  
Determining one forwarding port per group. For multicast packets, all but one port per group, the forwarding  
port must be excluded.  
Preventing the multicast packet from looping back to the source trunk.  
The search engine needs to prevent a multicast packet from sending to a port that is in the same trunk group with  
the source port. This is because when we select the primary forwarding port for each group, we do not take the  
source port into account. To prevent this, we simply apply one additional filter so as to block that forwarding port for  
this multicast packet.  
9.4 Unmanaged Trunking  
In unmanaged mode, 3 trunk groups are supported. Groups 0 and 1 can trunk up to 4 10/100 M ports. Group 2 can

10.0 Port Mirroring  
10.1 Port Mirroring Features  
The received or transmitted data of any 10/100 M port in the MVTX2603 chip can be “mirrored” to any other port.  
We support two such mirrored source-destination pairs. A mirror port can not also serve as a data port.  
Please refer to the Port Mirroring Application Note, MSAN-210, for further details.  
10.2 Setting Registers for Port Mirroring  
MIRROR1_SRC: Sets the source port for the first port mirroring pair. Bits [4:0] select the source port to be mirrored.  
An illegal port number is used to disable mirroring (which is the default setting). Bit [5] is used to select between  
ingress (Rx) or egress (Tx) data.  
MIRROR1_DEST: Sets the destination port for the first port mirroring pair. Bits [4:0] select the destination port to be  
mirrored. The default is port 23.  
MIRROR2_SRC: Sets the source port for the second port mirroring pair. Bits [4:0] select the source port to be  
mirrored. An illegal port number is used to disable mirroring (which is the default setting). Bit [5] is used to select  
between ingress (Rx) or egress (Tx) data.  
MIRROR2_DEST: Sets the destination port for the second port mirroring pair. Bits [4:0] select the destination port to  
be mirrored. The default is port 0.

QOS mode selection. Determines which of the 4 sets of QoS settings is used for  
10/100 ports.

• 01: select class byte limit set 1 and classes WFQ credit set 1  
• 10: select class byte limit set 2 and classes WFQ credit set 2  
• 11: select class byte limit set 3 and classes WFQ credit set 3  
Note that there are 4 sets of per-queue byte thresholds, and 4 sets of WFQ ratios  
programmed. These bits select among the 4 choices for each 10/100 port. Refer  
to Programming QOS Registers Application Note, ZLAN-05.  
Bit[7:6]  
Security Enable. The MVTX2603 checks the incoming data for one of the following  
conditions:  
If the source MAC address of the incoming packet is in the MAC table and is  
defined as secure address but the ingress port is not the same as the port  
associated with the MAC address in the MAC table.  
A MAC address is defined as secure when its entry at MAC table has  
static status and bit 0 is set to 1. MAC address bit 0 (the first bit  
transmitted) indicates whether the address is unicast or multicast. As  
source addresses are always unicast bit 0 is not used (always 0).  
MVTX2603 uses this bit to define secure MAC addresses.  
If the port is set as learning disable and the source MAC address of the  
incoming packet is not defined in the MAC address table or the MAC  
address is not associated to the ingress port.  
If the port is configured to filter untagged frames and an untagged frame  
arrives  
If the port is configured to filter tagged frames and a tagged frame arrives  
If any one of the conditions is met, the packet is forwarded based on these setting.  
00 – Disable port security, forward packets as usual. (Default)  
01 – Discard violating packets  
10 – Forward violating packets as usual and also to the CPU for inspection  
11 – Forward violating packets to the CPU for inspection

Registers AVPML, AVPMM and AVPMH allow the eight VLAN Tag priorities to map into eight Internal level transmit  
priorities. Under the Internal transmit priority, seven is the highest priority where as zero is the lowest. This feature  
allows the user the flexibility of redefining the VLAN priority field. For example, programming a value of 7 into bit 2:0  
of the AVPML register would map packet VLAN priority 0 into Internal transmit priority 7. The new priority is used  
inside the MVTX2603. When the packet goes out it carries the original priority.

User Defined Logical Ports and Well Known Ports  
The MVTX2603 supports classifying packet priority through layer 4 logical port information. It can be setup by 8  
Well Known Ports, 8 User Defined Logical Ports, and 1 User Defined Range. The 8 Well Known Ports supported  
are:  
23  
512  
6000  
443  
111  
22555  
22  
554  
Their respective priority can be programmed via Well_Known_Port [7:0] priority register. Well_Known_Port_Enable  
can individually turn on/off each Well Known Port if desired.  
Similarly, the User Defined Logical Port provides the user programmability to the priority, plus the flexibility to select  
specific logical ports to fit the applications. The 8 User Logical Ports can be programmed via User_Port 0-7  
registers. Two registers are required to be programmed for the logical port number. The respective priority can be  
programmed to the User_Port [7:0] priority register. The port priority can be individually enabled/disabled via  
User_Port_Enable register.  
The User Defined Range provides a range of logical port numbers with the same priority level. Programming is  
similar to the User Defined Logical Port. Instead of programming a fixed port number, an upper and lower limit need  
to be programmed, they are: {RHIGHH, RHIGHL} and {RLOWH, RLOWL} respectively. If the value in the upper  
limit is smaller or equal to the lower limit, the function is disabled. Any IP packet with a logical port that is less than  
the upper limit and more than the lower limit will use the priority specified in RPRIORITY.
