GT-48001A Switched Ethernet Controller

Revision 1.6
resides on the same PCI bus. If the destination address is not found, the GT-48001A treats the packet as a multicast
packet and forward the packet to all ports of all devices in the system specified to forward unknown packets.
The GT-48001A automatically learns the port number of attached network devices by examining the Source MAC
Address of all incoming packets. If the Source Address is not found in the GT-48001A’s Address Table, the device adds
it to the table (with an indication of on which port the address resides). The GT-48001A then notifies other GalNet
devices in the system of the new address via a NEW_ADDRESS message.
3.3
Address Learning
The GT-48001A can learn up to 8K unique MAC addresses. Addresses are stored in the Address Table located in
DRAM. The Address Table is managed automatically by the GT-48001A (i.e. a new address is automatically added to
the Address Table). The GT-48001A’s address learning process is outlined in Section 4.
The Address Table includes information regarding target port, aging status, static/dynamic status, and flags to force
processor intervention. The management CPU has the ability to insert, remove or modify the entries.
3.4
Packet Buffering
Incoming packets are buffered in the DRAM array. These buffers provide elastic storage for transferring data between
low-speed and high-speed segments. The packet buffers are managed automatically by the GT-48001A.
3.5
Packet Forwarding
Once an address has been learned, and the packet is buffered, it must be forwarded. The packet forwarding mecha-
nism for the GT-48001A is handled automatically based on the destination address. Optionally, the CPU can be
involved in unicast packet forwarding decisions by using
intervention mode. If a CPU is utilized for system manage-
ment functions, multicast packets will be forwarded to the CPU for forwarding decisions.
3.6
The GalNet Protocol
The GT-48001A uses a proprietary inter-chip communication protocol on the PCI bus known as the GalNet Protocol
messages.
The
protocol
consists
of
five
groups
of
messages:
NEW_ADDRESS,
BUFFER_REQUEST,
START_OF_PACKET, PACKET_TRANSFER, and END_OF_PACKET.
All GalNet messages are
write-only. For example, a GT-48001A may request a buffer location in another GalNet device
by writing a BUFFER_REQUEST message to the target device. The target device responds by writing a
START_OF_PACKET message to the requesting GT-48001A. Read transactions are strictly avoided since they tend to
stall the PCI bus, thereby wasting precious bandwidth.
3.7
Terminology
It is important to understand the basic terminology used to describe the GalNet Architecture Family before getting into
the detailed description. Table 2 explains the terms used throughout this document.

Address Table
The Address Table is a data structure in the GT-48001A’s DRAM that con-
tains all learned MAC addresses, and routing information associated with
those addresses.
Source Address
The Source Address (SA) is the MAC address from which a received
packet was sent.
Destination Address
The Destination Address (DA) is the MAC address to which a received
packet was sent.
