Abstract
A network device includes memory having memory banks, and a packet processor module configured to receive bursts of packets and segment a received packet into a plurality of sections corresponding to the memory banks. The memory is configured to store a first section of a first received packet at a first one of the memory banks, continue storing remaining sections of the first received packet in remaining ones of the memory banks, and begin storing sections of a second received packet at a second one of the memory banks. The second one of the memory banks is offset from the first one of the memory banks by at least one of a number of memory banks that is less than a total number of memory banks required to store the first received packet, and a number of banks that is randomly selected for each of the packets.
