  • Abstract
    This paper describes the architecture of a SpaceWire (SpW) to SpaceFibre (SpFi) bridge which merges multiple SpaceWire links from various communication nodes to the virtual channel buffers of a single high speed SpaceFibre link. The main goal is to make the bridge highly configurable and to allow each SpaceWire links to transmit data packets with full throughput and independent of its length without out blocking the network even if one is defected.
