Abstract
A buffer architecture enables linked lists to be used to administer virtual output queue buffering. The buffer has three random access memories (RAMs). A data RAM holds data. A free RAM holds a linked list of entries defining free space in the data RAM. Destination RAM holds a linked list of entries defining data in the data RAM to be forwarded to a destination.
