The internal memory stores frame headers in a queue configured to store a number of the frame headers for each of the receive ports. A scheduler is included for facilitating the transfer the data from the queues to the decision making logic according to a predetermined priority. The scheduler is also able allocate the time slots in accordance with data traffic at the corresponding receive ports to maximize data throughput.
