Abstract

See full text

An apparatus having improved line rate communication. A Media Access Controller (MAC) accesses each reference pointer stored in transmission slots of a first sub-queue of a transmission queue. Notably, each reference pointer is indexed to a shared memory frame. The MAC transmits data from the shared memory frame in response to accessing the reference pointer, and triggers at least one interrupt when each reference pointer of the first sub-queue is accessed at least once. A processor and/or the MAC can mark in response to the at least one interrupt, each transmission slot of the first sub-queue as ready for transmission.
