ABSTRACT:
A communications apparatus is provided comprising a plurality of FIFO buffers, each with independent control and priority logic under software control for supporting different types of message traffic, both send and receive, such as comprise a multimedia server system. Processor software directs messages to specific, optimized FIFO buffers. Further, a system is provided including a plurality of nodes wherein a sending node specifies the communications path through the system, selecting specific FIFO buffers in each node for buffering its messages.
