Abstract
Variable size data packets are queued in a communication system by generating from each data packet a record portion of predetermined fixed size containing information about each packet and storing only data portions of the packets in independent memory locations in a first memory. The record portions are only stored in one or more managed queues in a second memory having fixed size memory locations equal in size to the size of the record portions. The first memory is larger than the second memory; and the memory locations in the first memory are arranged in blocks having a plurality of different sizes. The memory locations are allocated to the data portions according to the size of the data portions.
