See full text

A method for managing buffer memory in a communications controller that transmits data over a plurality of channels wherein the buffer memory comprises a memory space of B.sub.total. A first subset of the memory space B.sub.total is location to queues associated with each of the plurality of channels. A second subset of the memory space B.sub.total is reserved for allocation to queues associated with channels that are activated to transmit data. Any remaining memory space from the memory space B.sub.total is specified as free for allocation to any queue associated with a channel that is activated to transmit data.
