Abstract

See full text

A system and method for dynamically resizing queues used in a network switch to accommodate potential congestion situations without experiencing data loss. In one embodiment, partition pointer registers are used to indicate when resizing is desirable. The control logic then determines when it is safe to update the size of the queue such that no data loss occurs and timely updates the queue size.
