ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a new linked structure for a buffer controller and management method thereof. The allocation and release actions of buffer memory can be more effectively processed when the buffer controller processes data packets. The linked structure enables the link node of the first buffer register to point to the last buffer register. The link node of the last buffer register points to the second buffer register. Each of the link nodes of the rest buffers points to the next buffer register in order until the last buffer register. This structure can effectively release the buffer registers in the used linked list to a free list.
