ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an apparatus and method used in an interface for scheduling the store-forwarding of back-to-back multi-channel packet fragments, comprising a first-in-first-out (FIFO) memory, a read pointer of the FIFO memory, the read pointer to increment by at least one of a unit access per read and a fraction of the unit access per read, and a write pointer of the FIFO memory, the write pointer to increment by at least one of a unit access per write and a fraction of the unit access per write.
