Abstract
Described embodiments provide for minimizing packet discarding in case of spiky traffic reception by using adaptive buffers. Transmission buffers may be adjusted based on traffic behavior, with the buffer size dynamically expanding or shrinking as needed, providing a cushion to hold extra packets when a buffer drain rate is slower than the buffer arrival rate.
