ABSTRACT:
A serial buffer is configured to transmit a plurality of received data packets through a data packet transfer path to a host processor. A doorbell controller of the serial buffer monitors the number of data packets transmitted to the host processor through the data packet transfer path, and estimates the number of data packets actually received by the host processor. The doorbell controller generates a doorbell command each time that the estimated number of data packets corresponds with a fixed number of data packets in a frame. The doorbell commands are transmitted to the host processor on a doorbell command path, which is faster than the data packet transfer path. The doorbell controller may estimate the number of data packets actually received by the host processor in response to a first delay value, which represents how much faster the doorbell command path is than the data packet transfer path.
