● Creates a shared pool from the unused port buffers

● Enables a configurable dedicated threshold per port per queue

−
● Enables a configurable global maximum shared threshold

−
● Splits buffers per port between hard (dedicated) and soft (shared)
−
−
● Uses a dedicated buffer first, then shared ones to ensure fair consumption of the shared pool

The following are the steps to build a shared pool via DTS:
−
−
Step 1. DTS summarizes any free port buffers and creates a single shared pool that can be dynamically distributed during a micro-burst. The total SUM assumes that no traffic is there. Figure 26 shows the shared buffer space created.
