Abstract
A buffer tree structure includes, at each internal node, a buffer having a compacted portion and an uncompacted portion. Insertion of data elements to the buffer tree can occur units called packets. A packet is initially stored in the uncompacted portion of a receiving node's buffer. After a time, packets in the uncompacted portion of a buffer are combined into compacted packets in the compacted portion of the buffer. A buffer-emptying (flush) operation pushes the compacted packets to children nodes.
