Abstract
A system is configured to provide an efficient management or control of a buffer memory system. The system can also be used to transmit data between communicating components of a computer system. A first-in-first-out memory stores a list of buffer pointers, and control logic returns buffer pointers from the transmit registers, and moves buffer pointers to the bottom of the FIFO memory.
