Abstract
A novel method of providing a host with assess to a buffer memory in a network interface in FIFO and SRAM modes of operation. A decoder decodes whether the host issues an SRAM-type access request or a FIFO-type access request to perform access to the buffer memory. In response to the FIFO-type access request, pointers to the memory are controlled so as to perform sequential addressing of the buffer memory. In response to the SRAM-type request, the pointers are controlled so as to perform random access addressing of the buffer memory.
