Abstract: Some examples described herein provide a buffer memory pool circuitry that comprises a plurality of buffer memory circuits that store an entry identifier, a payload portion, and a next-entry pointer. The buffer memory pool circuitry further comprises a processor configured to identify an allocation request for a first virtual channel associated with a sequence of buffer memory circuits and comprising a start pointer identifying an initial buffer memory circuit. The processor is further configured to program the first virtual channel circuit based on setting the start pointer for the first virtual channel circuit to be equal to the entry identifier of the initial buffer memory circuit. The processor is also configured to monitor usage. A length of the sequence of buffer memory circuits of the first virtual channel circuit is defined by a start pointer for a second virtual channel circuit subsequent to the first virtual channel circuit.
