Verbesserter Zähler für Attribut-Speicher für Verwendung in einem Verstärker

摘要

A counter for attribute stored in an Ethernet system is partitioned such that the storage section is separated from the incrementors section. In so doing, counters are implemented in a significantly less space that if the counters were implemented as individual counters. The counter utilizes random access memory as the storage section and a 32 bit incrementor. As the incrementor section along with a pair of latches to implement the counter.
