Abstract
A memory subsystem includes Data Storeand Data Store. Each data store is partitioned into N buffers, N>1. An increment of memory is formed by a buffer pair, with each buffer of the buffer pair being in a different data store. Two buffer pair formats are used in forming memory increments. A first format selects a first buffer from Data Storeand a second buffer from Data Store, while a second format selects a first buffer from Data Storeand a second buffer from Data Store. A controller selects a buffer pair for storing data based upon the configuration of data in a delivery mechanism, such as switch cell.
