Finally, the book explores the economic pitfalls of slot-allocation schemes; for example, controls may not be required if external delay costs are internalized by a dominant carrier at its hub.
This results in faster response times and lower internal latency, while affording absorption of large external delays caused by data and flow-control pipelines in adjacent devices, such as packet-forwarding engines and PHY devices.
In the new IDT device, these different backpressure schemes are accommodated using large but efficient buffers created from segmented memory, resulting in faster response times and lower internal latency, while affording absorption of large external delays caused by data and flow control pipelines in adjacent devices such as packet-forwarding engines and PHY devices.
