IMPLEMENTATION OF HIGH PERFORMANCE ROUTER USING FSM, SYNCHRONIZER AND FIFO

Abstract

Routing is defined as procedure of transferring any sort of data in compact form from sender to receiver and this is a step by step process i.e. one after another until target receiver is found. This process requires some sort of data that has the address of the client or destination. This process of routing message from source to client or destination happens at networking layer of OSI model. Hence it follows all the protocols of networking layer. The transmission or transition of data through router occurs in the form of packets, which usually contains header byte, payload and parity (trailer). Header will contain destination or client address and the upcoming size of payload byte. Payloads are the actual message or data which needs to be forwarded to destination network by the router. Trailer byte is for error detection. We use router as a networking device that advances data frames with computer and networks on other side. Router can be linked to more than two lines from various networks (this process is totally opposite of working of network switch that is used to establish a link data line and network). Project that is performed by me is basically based on few topic like working of router, its top model architecture, working of its other parts i.e. FIFO, FSM and Register.
