摘要: According to an embodiment of the invention, a network device such as router or switch provides efficient data packet handling capability. The includes one more input ports for receiving packets be routed, well output transmitting packets. integrated port controller circuit routing interface circuit, received buffer manager from and in buffers reading buffers. also rate shaper counter storing credit traffic class, so that can support and/or shaping. may associated with IRAM, CAM, parameter memory configured hold switching parameters, which implemented PRAM, aging RAM, stores information. information used by CPU coupled via system remove entries CAM PRAM when age count exceeds limit threshold entries.
