Aspects of adaptive buffer allocation management are described. In one embodiment of adaptive buffer allocation management, data is received by a network component for communication to a network address. While awaiting transfer to the network address, the data must be stored or distributed to a buffer. In one embodiment, the data is distributed evenly about banks of the buffer when an amount of utilization of the buffer is low. In another embodiment, the data is distributed to certain banks of the buffer when the amount of utilization of the buffer is high. In other aspects, the amount of utilization of the buffer is monitored while data is distributed to the banks of the buffer, and the manner of data distribution among the banks is adapted based on the utilization. According to aspects the of adaptive data distribution, a buffer of reduced size may be used. |
