SYSTEM FOR MANAGING A QUEUE BUFFER AND A HIERARCHICAL ADAPTIVE DYNAMIC OUTPUT PORT AND A METHOD THEREOF CAPABLE OF EFFICIENTLY USING BUFFERING RESOURCES

摘要

PURPOSE: A system for managing a queue buffer and a hierarchical adaptive dynamic output port and a method thereof are provided to efficiently use buffering resources through adaptive queue limitations induced from an adaptive port limitation.;CONSTITUTION: A switch (100) includes a plurality of input ports (110-1-110-4) and each input port is connected with other network devices. The input ports provide 10 GbE connection with other switches in a data center. The switch includes output ports (140-1-140-4) and each output port is connected with other network devices. The input ports and the output ports perform an I/O role of the switch. A processing core of the switch includes packet processing units (120-1,120-2) and a memory manager (130).;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2013;[Reference numerals] (130) Memory manager; (AA) Processing core
