Abstract
A buffer switch comprises a data memory that stores a plurality of data. A cache memory comprises a plurality of FIFO mini-queues each storing a plurality of descriptors each corresponding to a respective one of the plurality of data. An output memory comprises a plurality of output queues. A burst writer simultaneously transfers M ones of the plurality of descriptors stored in a corresponding one of the plurality of mini-queues to at least a corresponding one of the plurality of output queues. The burst writer accesses the output memory, when the output memory is available, once for every M ones of the plurality of descriptors.
