BXM T3/E3, 155, and 622 6-21
BXM Functional Description
Egress
The egress flow of ATM cells out of the BXM when the card is configured for trunk operation is
shown in Figure 6-12.
ATM cells are routed to the BXM from the BPX crosspoint switch, applied to the DRSIU, then to
an egress queue per class of service, and then served out to the SUNI (OC3/OC12) or Demux/Mux
(T3/E3). The SUNI or Demux/Mux, as applicable, processes the ATM cells into frames, processing
the cells from the ATM layer to the physical and on out to the backcard trunk interface connecting
to another node or network.
