Packet Switching
The switching architecture of the Cisco 1600 Series Router is based on the shared memory architecture. The
Cisco 2500, 4x00 and AS5300 Series also use this switching architecture.
Cisco IOS software on shared memory routers uses the system buffers for all packet switching, not just
process switching. In addition to the standard public buffer pools, the Cisco IOS software also creates private
system buffer pools and special buffer structures for the interface controllers called RX rings and TX rings.
Private Buffer Pools
Private buffer pools are static and are allocated with a fixed number of buffers during initialization of the
Cisco IOS software. New buffers cannot be created on demand for these pools. If a buffer is needed and none
are available in the private pool, Cisco IOS software falls back to the public buffer pool for the size that
matches the interface's maximum transmission unit (MTU).
