Abstract
Ingress packet processors in a device receive network packets from ingress ports. A crossbar in the device receives, from the ingress packet processors, packet data of the packets and transmits information about the packet data to a plurality of traffic managers in the device. Each traffic manager computes a total amount of packet data to be written to buffers across the plurality of traffic managers, where each traffic manager manages one or more buffers that store packet data. Each traffic manager compares the total amount of packet data to one or more threshold values. Upon determining that the total amount of packet data is equal to or greater than a threshold value, each traffic manager drops a portion of the packet data, and writes a remaining portion of the packet data to the buffers managed by the traffic manager.
