Abstract
A networking device and system are described, among other things. An illustrative system is disclosed to include a shared buffer and at least a flow controller. In some embodiments, the system and/or flow controller may be configured to measure a packet flow's bandwidth consumption of the shared buffer, assign a flow-type attribute to the packet flow based on the packet flow's bandwidth consumption of the shared buffer, select a shared buffer schema for the packet flow based on the flow-type attribute assigned to the packet flow, and apply the selected shared buffer schema to the packet flow. For example, the flow-type attribute assigned to the packet flow may comprise a mice flow state or an elephant flow state, and a reserve attribute may be assigned to the flow based on the packet flow being assigned the mice flow state or the elephant flow state.
