9.2 Switch function:

9.2.1 Address Learning

The DM9013 has a self-learning mechanism for

learning the MAC addresses of incoming packets in

real time. DM9013 stores MAC addresses, port

number

and

time

stamp

information

the

Hash-based Address Table. It can learn up to 1K

unicast address entry.

The switch engine updates address table with

new entry if incoming packet’s Source Address (SA)

does not exist and incoming packet is valid (non-error

and legal length).

Besides, DM9013 has an option to disable

address learning for individual port. This feature can

be set by bit 0 of register 65h

9.2.2 Address Aging

The time stamp information of address table is

used in the aging process. The switch engine

updates time stamp whenever the corresponding SA

receives. The switch engine would delete the entry if

its time stamp is not updated for a period of time.

The period can be programmed or disabled through

bit 0 & 1 of register 52h.

9.2.3 Packet Forwarding

The DM9013 forwards the incoming packet

according to following decision:

(1). If DA is Multicast/Broadcast, the packet is

forwarded to all ports, except to the port on which the

packet was received.

(2). Switch engine would look up address table

based on DA when incoming packets is UNICAST. If

the DA was not found in address table, the packet is

treated as a multicast packet and forward to other

ports. If the DA was found and its destination port

number is different to source port number, the packet

is forward to destination port.

(3). Switch engine also look up VLAN, Port

Monitor setting and other forwarding constraints for

the forwarding decision, more detail will discuss in

later sections.

The DM9013 will filter incoming packets under

following conditions:

(1).

Error

packets,

including

CRC

errors,

alignment errors, illegal size errors.

(2). PAUSE packets.

(3). If incoming packet is UNICAST and its

destination port number is equal to source port

number.

9.2.4 Inter-Packet Gap (IPG)

IPG is the idle time between any two valid packets

at the same port. The typical number is 96 bits time.

In other word, the value is 9.6u sec for 10Mbps and

960n sec for 100Mbps.

9.2.5 Back-off Algorithm

The DM9013 implements the binary exponential

back-off algorithm in half-duplex mode compliant to

IEEE standard 802.3.

9.2.6 Late Collision

Late Collision is a type of collision. If a collision

error occurs after the first 512 bit times of data are

transmitted, the packet is dropped.

9.2.7 Full Duplex Flow Control

The DM9013 supports IEEE standard 802.3x flow

control frames on both transmit and receive sides.

On the receive side, The DM9013 will defer

transmitting next normal frames, if it receives a pause

frame from link partner.

On the transmit side, The DM9013 issues pause

frame with maximum pause time when internal

resources such as received buffers, transmit queue

and transmit descriptor ring are unavailable. Once

resources are available, The DM9013 sends out a

pause frame with zero pause time allows traffic to

resume immediately.

9.2.8 Half Duplex Flow Control

The DM9013 supports half-duplex backpressure.

The inducement is the same as full duplex mode.

When flow control is required, the DM9013 sends jam

pattern, thus forcing a collision.

The flow control ability can be set in bit 4 of

9.2.9 Partition Mode

The DM9013 provides a partition mode for each
