Abstract :
In this paper the performance analysis of a new high-speed cell-based interface is presented. The so called VIRUS interface can be used for replacing existing physical layer interfaces of cell-based networks, since its functions result in lower hardware complexity and, thus, it can be easily used at higher data rates. The interface analysis is mainly focused on the evaluation of the proposed synchronization method as well as on the effects of the line coding scheme on the synchronization procedure. The results prove the advantage of the proposed interface when used for cell-based communication networks and high-speed point-to-point interfaces
