Abstract
A write queue, for queuing a packet in a traffic manager coupled to a memory device, is selected from among a preemptable write queue configured to queue packets that are candidates for being retrieved from the traffic manager before the packets are written to the memory device and a non-preemptable write queue configured to queue packets that are not candidates for being retrieved from the traffic manager before the packets are written to the memory device. The packet is written to the selected write queue. A read request is generated for retrieving the packet from the memory device, and it is determined whether the packet is queued in the preemptable write queue. If the packet is queued in the preemptable write queue, the packet is extracted from the preemptable write queue for retrieving the packet from the traffic manager before the packet is written to the memory device.
