Abstract
Certain aspects of a method and system for adaptive queue and buffer control based on monitoring in a packet network switch are disclosed. Aspects of one method may include pre-allocating packet buffers from a pool of packet buffers in a network switching device based on anticipation of a type of application data being handled by a particular port of the network switching device according to packet classification and tracking. The buffers may be dynamically allocated and deallocated from the pool of packet buffers for a particular port of the network switching device based on changes to the application data.
