Abstract
An apparatus and method for receiving multiple simultaneous stream bursts comprising determining if a frame size is smaller than a size of an available memory; determining if a priority of a first packet is lower than a priority of a second packet, wherein the frame size is of a frame for the second packet; requesting to abort processing the first packet and to de-assign the available memory from the first packet if the priority of the first packet is lower than the priority of the second packet; waiting for the size of the available memory to become equal or greater than the frame size if the priority of the first packet is not lower than the priority of the second packet; and assigning the available memory to the frame for the second packet.
