Patent GB-2545756-A (GB)
Title: Dynamic buffer allocation
Inventor: MICK SAXTON
IPC: H04L12/933
Filed: 2016-02-22
Abstract: Dynamic allocation of buffer memory within a network switch 100. A communication channel 141 is established 610 between the switch 100 and a network device 151. The switch allocates a portion of memory to a receive socket buffer for the established channel. Upon receipt of a signal BR1 from the network device 630, the switch allocates 640 a second portion of memory to the receive socket buffer. The signal may indicate that the network device wishes to make a large transfer and acts as a warning for the network switch to increase its receive buffer size to accommodate this transfer. The second portion of memory may be temporarily allocated to the receive socket buffer until the large transfer is indicated to be complete, 660, 670, 680. The network switch may by default assign 4kB of memory to the receive socket buffer and assign, from a pool of memory, a further 128kB of memory to the receive socket buffer to accommodate a large/slow transfer from a network device. The channel may be a persistent connection with dynamic (re)allocation of memory to and from the buffer accommodating various sized transfers without requiring the setting-up and dropping of additional connections.
