l In the upstream direction, the interface module transmits subscriber line signals to the
forwarding module. The forwarding module reorganizes the cell flow into ATM/PTM
packets, encapsulates the ATM/PTM packets into IP packets, and performs CAR on the
IP packets. Controlled by the logical switch, the IP packets are transmitted to the
backplane bus through the backplane interface.
l In the downstream direction, the forwarding module decapsulates the IP packets from the
backplane bus, performs CAR on the IP packets, reorganizes the IP packets into
ATM/PTM packets, and transmits the ATM/PTM packets to the interface module. The
interface module converts the ATM/PTM packets into analog signals and transmits the
signals to subscriber lines.
