This paper discusses the need for new high-speed hardware architectures for future networks and in particular the need for high speed, high capacity shared buffer designs. An implementation of such a buffer using FPGA technology utilizing RLDRAM II is presented. The architecture that has been derived and implemented operated at 12.8 Gbps and is scalable up to 20 Gbps.
