Network packet buffer management
Descriptor structure types
During normal network transmit operations, the STE10/100A transfers the data packets
from transmit buffers in the host’s memory to the STE10/100A’s transmit FIFO. For receive
operations, the STE10/100A transfers the data packet from its receive FIFO to receive
buffers in the host’s memory. The STE10/100A makes use of descriptors, data structures
which are built in host memory and contain pointers to the transmit and receive buffers and
maintain packet and frame parameters, status, and other information vital to controlling
network operation.
There are two types of structures employed to group descriptors, the Ring and the Chain,
both supported by the STE10/100A and shown below. The selection of structure type is
controlled by RCH (RDES1 bit 24) and TCH (TDES1 bit 24).
The transmit and receive buffers reside in the host’s memory. Any buffer can contain either a
complete or partial packet. A buffer may not contain more than one packet.
Ring structure
There are two buffers per descriptor in the ring structure. Support receive early interrupt.
