A design structure embodied in a machine readable storage medium for designing, manufacturing, and/or testing a design for managing allocation of storage in a switch utilizing flow control is provided. The design structure includes a switch having a plurality of ports and an internal storage divided into a plurality of storage units. The design structure provides for monitoring an average number of storage units used by each of the plurality of ports over a predetermined time period, setting a threshold for the average number of storage units used by each of the plurality of ports, and allocating one or more available storage units assigned to a first port to a second port in response to storage allocation management being enabled for the second port and the average number of storage units used by the second port exceeding the threshold for the second port.
