Abstract
Communication apparatus includes multiple ports configured to serve as ingress ports and egress ports for connection to a packet data network. A single memory array is coupled to the ports and configured to contain both a respective headroom allocation for each ingress port and a shared buffer holding data packets for transmission in multiple queues via the egress ports. Control logic is configured to adjustably allocate to each ingress port a respective volume of memory within the single memory array to serve as the respective headroom allocation, and to queue the data packets in the multiple queues in the single memory array for transmission through the egress ports.
