ABSTRACT:
A method comprises receiving packets; transferring the packets to an output circuit when aggregation of the packets is not enabled; transferring the packets to a queue when aggregation is enabled; enabling aggregation when a rate of receiving the packets into the queue is greater than a predetermined rate or a number of the packets in the output circuit>a first number; and generating aggregate packets each comprising packets in the queue, transferring each aggregate packet to the output circuit when a number of packets in the aggregate packet>a second number, and transferring the aggregate packet to the output circuit when a number of packets in the aggregate packet≦the second number, when a predetermined interval elapses, wherein the interval begins when the queue is empty when receiving a packet or a number of aggregate packets in a device receiving the aggregate packets<a third number.
