Abstract
A data-packet processing method is used in a network system. The network system includes a buffer for optionally storing a data packet to be transferred, and the method includes steps of: determining a type of the data packet to be transferred; determining a storage state of a buffer where the data packet is to be temporarily stored before transferring; and storing the data packet into the buffer if the storage state of the buffer is a packet-accepting storage state; wherein the packet-accepting storage state of the buffer varies with the type of the data packet.
