Abstract
A packet switching device can allocate memory resources dynamically in order to utilize the memory resources efficiently. The packet switching device can include at least one ingress port that receives incoming packets from a network, a plurality of egress ports that transmit outgoing packets to the network, a storage unit configured to temporarily store the outgoing packets before transmission by the plurality of egress ports, the storage unit being coupled to the plurality of egress ports, so that a portion of the storage unit is dynamically allocated to an egress port, and a controller configured to dynamically allocate the portion of the storage unit to the egress port based on a network status.
