A pipeline configuration is described for use in network traffic management for the hardware scheduling of events arranged in a hierarchical linkage. The configuration reduces costs by minimizing the use of external SRAM memory devices. This results in some external memory devices being shared by different...http://www.google.fr/patents/US7929438?utm_source=gb-gplus-shareBrevet US7929438 - Scheduler pipeline design for hierarchical link sharing
