switching processors. The CellManager
ASIC handles module-to-backplane
transfers and, in ATMSpeed modules,
performs local cell switching tasks.
Centillion LAN-ATM platforms with-
stand temporary network congestion
through the abundant onboard buffering
facilities offered by all switching
modules. In addition, multiple
queues provide application-intelligent
traffic prioritization and ATM Forum-
compliant Quality of Service support.
handle chassis-wide housekeeping
functions such as network management,
LAN Emulation, ATM switched virtual
circuit signaling, and interswitch
topology services. Secondary, standby
ATM MCP modules can be added to
all platforms and also provide full
switching capacity while in their idle
MCP state.
As shown in Table 2, the Centillion 50
and Centillion 100 chassis utilize a com-
mon set of switching and MCP modules.

ATMSpeed modules go beyond limited
intelligence UNI facilities to provide
intelligent, fault-tolerant Network-
Network Interfaces. This allows
Centillion LAN-ATM switches to
multi-home their interconnections via
genuine load-sharing, fast recovery
links, and facilitates the construction
of heavily meshed network topologies.
MCP facilities are available in both
the ATMSpeed and TokenSpeed
module families—EtherSpeed modules
do not support MCP services. Switch
