Abstract

Buffer management plays an important role in store-and-forward computer communication systems. The management policy will influence the cost as well as the performance of the system. In this paper we present an implementation of a dynamic buffer management strategy for a shared buffer computer communication system. Such a management policy provides flexibility as well as efficiency in utilization of buffer space. An estimation of required buffer size and strategies for handling buffer overflow are described. Finally, methods for allocating buffer resources among the set of buffer outputs (destinations) are discussed.
