A method of writing data to a packet memory device in a system for transmitting data in packets across a packet network, wherein said packets are arranged to form a plurality of packet streams, the method comprising: providing a plurality of buffers, each arranged to store data destined for said packets; dynamically allocating to each packet stream a subset of buffers, wherein at any given time said subset comprises as many of said buffers as are currently required to store data destined for that packet stream; writing to each subset of buffers data relating to the packet stream corresponding to that subset; and transferring data from each subset of buffers to the packet memory device. |
