Abstract
A method for managing a shared buffer between a data processing system and a network. The method provides a communication interface unit for managing bandwidth of data between the data processing system and an external communicating interface connecting to the network. The method performs, by the communication interface unit, a combined de-queue and head drop operation on at least one data packet queue within a predefined number of clock cycles. The method also performs, by the communication interface unit, an en-queue operation on the at least one data packet queue in parallel with the combined de-queue operation and head drop operation within the predefined number of clock cycles.
