Hi all,
as reading the boot of CEF,
I have a question.
what is the public buffer??
it is shown in "show buffer"
SG1#sh buffer
Buffer elements:
498 in free list (500 max allowed)
36934785 hits, 0 misses, 0 created
Public buffer pools:
Small buffers, 104 bytes (total 1024, permanent 1024):
1000 in free list (128 min, 2048 max allowed)
27361469 hits, 0 misses, 0 trims, 0 created
0 failures (0 no memory)
Medium buffers, 300 bytes (total 3000, permanent 3000):

Huge buffers, 18024 bytes (total 2, permanent 2):
2 in free list (0 min, 4 max allowed)
84 hits, 0 misses, 0 trims, 0 created

Interface buffer pools:
EOBC0/0 buffers, 1524 bytes (total 2400, permanent 2400):
1094 in free list (0 min, 2400 max allowed)
1306 hits, 0 fallbacks
1200 max cache size, 781 in cache
15449495 hits in cache, 106 misses in cache

Private Huge IPC buffers, 18024 bytes (total 2, permanent 2):
2 in free list (1 min, 4 max allowed)
0 hits, 0 misses, 0 trims, 0 created
0 failures (0 no memory)
Private Huge buffers, 65280 bytes (total 2, permanent 2):
2 in free list (1 min, 4 max allowed)
18 hits, 0 misses, 0 trims, 0 created
0 failures (0 no memory)
Header pools:
in above output,
"Interface buffer pools" is used by interface processor to store the packet switched.
but I don't know
what kind of the packet is used by "Public buffer pools"
is there anyone to explain this in detail??

Hello Sanghee,
the public buffer pools are the system buffer they are used to hold the packets that need to be process switched = need to be sent to main cpu for deep inspection.
These buffers are organized in different sizes when a packet arrives if there is space it is hold on a buffer of the correct size.

thanks for your help.
it's a great help for me
Thanks again.
and have a nice day :-)

then I wonder when the router executes process-switching.
if a packet is arrived at the router
then it needs to be process-switched
because the router has no cache entry.
so the packet is stored in interface buffer pool or public buffer pool?
or
is the packet copyed from interface buffer pool to public buffer pool?

Hello Sanghee,
thanks four your kind remarks
the public address pools are those used for process switched traffic.
Hope to help
