Dynamic Buffer Management

Dynamic Buffer Management is a scheme used Frame Relay and ATM service modules for allocating and scaling traffic entering or leaving a node on a per-VC basis. The WAN switch dynamically assigns buffers to individual virtual circuits based upon the amount of traffic present and service-level agreements. This deep pool of available buffers readily accommodates large bursts of traffic into the node.
