SPAS Container parameters

There is a container file at all boards where it is possible to specify parameters
that can be used in run-time to specify behaviour of a board.

table is the applicable rounded off worst case values.
The parameters are accessed through the NVPI interface.
ELGI log identity

The log identity is used to identify a log entry in the HW Fault Log. For more
information about the HW fault log, see ref. [18].
Log identity K00 - KZZ have been reserved for Spas. The following identities
are used:

It is not possible to initialise the ASCC.
This is only logged on SCB2 boards.
Switch throughput optimization, TPO

When a board starts, it will be configured according to ref. [17]. The switch
module should then be configured for maximum throughput.
The Switch module and Sai objects in the resource view will optimise the performance of each switch module. The operating frequencies of the switch
ports in a switch module are compared and the RCU Data Rate registers in
the ASCCs are set for optimum performance.

If the frequency of portm < the frequency of portn then RCU Data
Rate register of portm should be set to 0.
If the frequency relation between portm and portn is unknown then

RCU Data Rate registers of portm and portn should be set to 0.
The result from the TPO calculation is sent to the SaiRo object that handles
the RCU Data Rate registers. The SaiRo object also handles the ASCI rate.
The ASCI rate is read from the SAI_speed register in SPIC.
Network synchronisation support.

SPAS supports the NSS sub-system by implementing the server side of the
SSI interface. The interface is used to control and monitor the system clocks
and the SPIC internal clock. The interface has the following characteristics
The interface is a local interface.
The SPAS function are limited to supporting NSS in reading and

writing sync related registers in the SPIC, i.e. HW-driver related
functions.
The client subscribes to changes of clock source and clock status.
SPIC Buffer Configuration functions
6.1
Overview
When buffers are configured, this is performed on a Quality of Service (QoS)
basis. A description of the QoS concept can be found in [4].
Note that the ASCI RATE parameter is not included in the calculation of buffer lengths. In the future, in order to make the calculation more accurate, the
ASCI RATE parameter should be taken into consideration.
Currently the maximum allowed delay times for the different QoS levels are
hard coded.
To improve the function in the future, the maximum allowed delay times
should be sent to the SaiRo object on each board. It should then be possible
for the saci server object and the ingress queue object to access these values
through a local interface. It should also be possible to change the QoS definition, either by using the MAO-FRO interface in the switchfabric object or by
using system parameters.

Switch Access Configuration function

A client configure the egress buffers by using the SACI interface in the Basic
loadmodule. The function is implemented in the saci server object and in the
reply to the client, a SUPA value is returned. The SUPA value is calculated
by using the switch module number and the APN number. These numbers are
retrieved by using the SLTI interface.
The maximum queue length for a SUUA is calculated from the egressbandwidth if the DoCac parameter is set to TRUE. If DoCac is FALSE, maximum
queue length are set by the clients parameters.
If the DoCac parameter is set to TRUE, the queue lengths for QoS Gold and
Silver are calculated as follows:
maxqueuelength = bandwidth (cells/s) * maxdelayqos (ms) / 1000 +2 (+2 is
because cells are discrete)
For QoS Bronze and Iron, the queue lengths are set to unrestricted.
6.3
SILI egress buffer control function

The purpose of the SILI egress buffer control function is to control the buffers
towards the ISL, Internal Switch Links. Buffer queues for SILI egress are set
to a low value for ports with a protecting link and ports that are not used. The
queue length for ports connected to a working link are set to a higher value.
The configuration of the SILI egress queues are controlled by the ReliableGroupRo. The ReliableGroupRo orders SilipRo to set a value depending on
if the link is a working or a protecting link.
Figure 1. shows three different states, min size state, no ISL state and traffic
state that the ReliableGroupRo uses to control the queues.
After a cold restart the buffers are initialised to handle a minimum traffic load,
e.g. to take care of BP to BP signalling cells and link supervising cells. This
state is called "min size state. Buffer sizes are shown in Figure 1.
If the board doesnt contain any links, i.e. it is not a SCB or a SXB board, the
SILI buffer control function will be set to no ISL state. The buffers are set
to zero and the buffers are discarded.
The state traffic state is reached if the link is enabled, i.e. the link is configured and error free. If the link gets disabled for some reason, the SILI egress
buffers are set to min state values.
When the link redundancy is working in primitive mode the SILI egress
buffers are set to Min size state values.

Times and timer-values

Various times and timers are used in SPAS SW to control different events.
This section is an overview, motivation and explanation of the timer values.
Some timer times are dependent of the Hwdrv polling time of SPIC and
ASCC these time are referred to as hwpt (hwpolltime) this time is currently 1s

Pool memory
The SPAS load module that uses the most memory is the spas_resource lm.

Command Line Interface

This sub-chapter describes the shell commands, the administrative interface
that an operator can use when configure, managing and maintaining the SPAS
subsystem.
The interface is provided by a set of Cello Specific commands which are handled by a UNIX shell like command interpreter.

LOG Identity used in ELGI

When SPAS writes in the HW Fault Log via ELGI a message string shall be
provided containing the found fault. This message string begins with a Log
Identity. The Log Identity is a three character alpha numeric string. The string
is always 3 characters. SPAS shall use the range K00 - KZZ.
