An Efficient Networking Management for a Protocol Processor

This paper implements an efficient networking management for a protocol processor in a network terminal. The protocol processor is to handle high-speed data streams, more than 10 Gb/s, in a network terminal. We propose an algorithm, which contributes to fairness and full utilization of the packet buffer memory. In our experimental results, the proposed algorithm shows good improvement for the packet loss ratio compared to conventional dynamic algorithms.
