Abstract
Modules and methods are described for buffering packets to be switched in a system, such as a programmed device. The modules can be configured for different packet lengths, protocols, applications, and/or designs in a larger system. Techniques and mechanisms are further described for implementing a central memory and a linked-list addressing scheme. Accordingly, memory blocks of the central memory can be used for variable length packets and further reused at substantially the same time as they become available, thereby improving packet switching efficiency and/or flexibility.
