Abstract

A memory system for a network device is described. The memory system includes a main memory configured to store one or more data elements. Further, the memory system includes a parent distributed-linked list configured to store linked-list metadata. And, the memory system includes a child distributed-linked list configured to maintain list metadata to interconnect the one or more data elements stored in the main memory to generate at least a first snapshot, said linked-list metadata references the snapshot.
