The data received by the device at the inbound interface will be processed only if the buffer contains resources for their processing (video 2). Thus, the passing data occupies the buffer's resources. If the buffer is full 's resources are fully used at the time of a new data frame arrival, the frame will be discarded.
...
There are ways to combine the resource buffers. For example, on the Infinet devices, the allocated resource buffers can be combined using classes (see below). If one resource buffer is full filled with resources (video 6), its further incoming resources can be provided to another buffer.
In the example below, the buffer for vlan 162 is full of resources, allowing to fill in the vlan's 161 traffic buffer with 5 selected data units of resources, instead of 3 (its own 3 data units plus the 2 data units of the other buffer). In this case, the vlan's 161 service throughput will increase. But when vlan's 162 traffic resource buffer will have free space, the resource allocation will return to the normal mode: for vlan's 161 traffic - 3 data units, for vlan's 162 traffic - 2 data units.
