Disclosed is a packet data processing apparatus which processes packet
data in a packet data serving node. In the apparatus, a separate hardware
configuration of a PDSN performs de-framing and de-stuffing for a PPP
frame provided from a BTS, thereby generating an IP frame, and then
outputs the generated IP frame to the Internet network. Further, another
separate hardware configuration of the PDSN frames and stuffs an IP frame
transferred from the Internet network, thereby generating a PPP frame,
and then transfers the generated PPP frame through the BTS to
corresponding MS. Therefore, processing speed of a line card performing
interfacing with the BTS, and the performance of the entire PDSN can be
improved. Moreover, problems due to data processing are prevented from
being caused, since many functions in relation to PPP have been realized
by hardware.
