  • Virtual insertion of cells from a secondary source into a FIFO
    Patent number: 6754743
    Abstract: A FIFO for buffering a cell between an incoming stream (Din) and an outgoing stream (Dout), comprising a memory, a write pointer indicating a first memory location for storing the cell, and a read pointer indicating a second memory location for releasing a stored cell, a controller, and additional memory for storing an additional cell; the controller arranged for: monitoring the additional cell's arrival in the additional memory; storing a pointer value (LOG_PTR) upon the additional cell's arrival, using a momentary write pointer value; monitoring a momentary read pointer value; upon equivalence of the read pointer and LOC_PTR; inserting the stored additional cell into the outgoing stream (Dout); inserting content from the second memory location into the outgoing stream (Dout).
