The control circuit may be configured to generate the one or more control signals.
Claims22
A circuit comprising:
- a memory comprising a plurality of memory sections configured to hold one or more queues, said memory configured to (i) store one or more packets of information in said one or more queues and (ii) send said stored one or more packets of information to each of a plurality of predetermined ports in response to one or more control signals, wherein said memory holds said stored one or more packets until said stored one or more packets are sent to each of said plurality of predetermined ports;
- and
- a control circuit configured to generate said one or more control signals.
A circuit comprising:
- means for (i) storing one or more packets of information in a plurality of memory sections configured to hold one or more queues and (ii) sending said stored one or more packets of information to each of a plurality of predetermined ports in response to one or more control signals, wherein said storing means holds said stored one or more packets until said one or more packets are sent to each of said predetermined ports;
- and
- means for generating said one or more control signals.
