1. Ipsilon developed the IP switch to allow IP routing to be 5 times faster than other IP routers by implementing cut-through routing and detecting IP flows. 2. Once a flow is detected, the IP switch signals upstream and downstream nodes to use a new virtual circuit dedicated to that flow, allowing it to be switched rather than routed for increased speed. 3. The Ipsilon Flow Management Protocol (IFMP) and General Switch Management Protocol (GSMP) are used for signaling between IP switches, with IFMP instructing nodes to attach labels to flows and GSMP controlling ATM switch connections and configuration.

In order to ill an A1M 155 Mbps line, an IP router may need to send up to
100,000 packets per second. 1his is beyond the capability o most routers,
mainly because each IP datagram needs to be routed separately ,IP is not
connection oriented,.
Ipsilon deeloped the IP switch, to sole this problem by implementing Cut
1hrough Routing, thus allowing IP routing to be 5 times aster then other
IP routers on the market. 1his is done by detecting seeral classes o IP
lows during the routing process. A IORZis a sequence o packets, haing
the same source and destination addresses, as well as common higher-leel
protocol types ,UDP, 1CP,, type o serice and other characteristics ,as
indicated by the inormation in the IP packet header,.
Once a low is detected and classiied, the IP switch signals the upstream
node ,where the data comes rom, to use a new VC or that low. 1he same
is done by the downstream node, making the switch send low packets using
a new VC.
\hen the low is receied and transmitted through dedicated VCs, it can be
switched using the A1M switching hardware, with no routing inoled. In
290 IP Switchin Protoco|s
addition, a layer 2 label is attached to the header o each low packet,
enabling aster lookup in cache routing tables.
Signalling between IP switches is done using two protocols: Ipsilon llow
Management Protocol ,IlMP, and General Switch Management Protocol
,GSMP,.

1he Ipsilon llow Management Protocol ,IlMP,, is a protocol or
instructing an adjacent node to attach a layer 2 label to a speciied IP low to
route it through an IP switch. 1he label allows more eicient access to
cached routing inormation or that low and allows the low to be switched
rather than routed in certain cases.
IlMP is composed o two sub-protocols: the Adjacency Protocol and the
Redirection Protocol. IlMP messages are encapsulated within an IP4
packet. 1hey are sent to the IP limited broadcast address ,255.255.255.255,.
1he protocol ield in the IP header contains the alue 101 ,decimal, to
indicate an IlMP message.
1he structure o the IlMP header is shown in the ollowing illustration:

1he General Switch Management Protocol ,GSMP,, is a general purpose
protocol to control an A1M switch. GSMP allows a controller to establish
and release connections across the switch, add and delete leaes on a point-
to-multipoint connection, manage switch ports, request coniguration
inormation and request statistics.
GSMP packets are ariable length and are encapsulated directly into AAL5
with an LLC,SNAP header 0x00-00-00-88-0C to indicate GSMP messages.
1he structure o the GSMP header is shown in the ollowing illustration:

outcome is successul.

used to pass an error code in a ailure response. In a request message, the
code ield is not used and is set to 0.
