Router−1600

Packet Switching

The switching architecture of the Cisco 1600 Series Router is based on the shared memory architecture. The Cisco 2500, 4x00 and AS5300 Series also use this switching architecture.

Cisco IOS software on shared memory routers uses the system buffers for all packet switching, not just process switching. In addition to the standard public buffer pools, the Cisco IOS software also creates private system buffer pools and special buffer structures for the interface controllers called RX rings and TX rings.

Private Buffer Pools

Private buffer pools are static and are allocated with a fixed number of buffers during initialization of the Cisco IOS software. New buffers cannot be created on demand for these pools. If a buffer is needed and none are available in the private pool, Cisco IOS software falls back to the public buffer pool for the size that matches the interface's maximum transmission unit (MTU).
