Abstract
The present disclosure describes a memory block manager. In some aspects a memory block allocation request is received from a packet-based interface, a memory block is allocated to the packet-based interface, and allocation of the memory block to another packet-based interface is prevented. In other aspects a request to free a memory block is received from a packet-based interface and the memory block is freed to allow the memory block to be reallocated.
