Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide a memory allocation module that adopts memory-pool based allocation and is aware of the physical configuration of the memory blocks in order to manage the memory allocation intelligently while exploiting statistical characters of packet traffic. The memory-pool based allocation makes it easy to find empty memory blocks. Packet traffic characteristics are used to maximize the number of empty memory blocks.
