ABSTRACT:
A multiported device is provided connected to a switching device providing switching functions. The multiported device receives frames and is connected to an application processor. Some of the received frames are passed to the application processor via an application processor port having a port bandwidth. The multiported device includes an application receive buffer having a receive buffer size for storing frames and providing frames to the application processor for processing. A programmable logic unit is provided for monitoring a level of data in the receive buffer and monitoring a type of frame forwarded to said application processor. The frames each have a discriptor frame associated with it with data indicating one or more of priority status and broadcast/unicast status. The logic unit monitors the level of data based on at least one threshold level for dropping frames upon a data level in said receive buffer reaching the threshold level which have a status. The status is one the one or more of priority status and broadcast/unicast status.
