14.5.4 Buffer Manager CSRs
This section details the Buffer Manager (BM) registers. These registers allow configuration and
monitoring of the switch buffer levels and usage. A list of the general switch CSRs and their
corresponding register numbers is included in Table 14.12.
14.5.4.1 Buffer Manager Configuration Register (BM_CFG)
This register enables egress rate pacing and ingress rate discarding.

Drop on Yellow
When this bit is set, packets that exceed the Ingress Committed Burst Size
(colored Yellow) are subjected to random discard.

Drop on Red
When this bit is set, packets that exceed the Ingress Excess Burst Size
(colored Red) are discarded.
Note: See Section 14.5.3.26, "Switch Engine Ingress Rate Command
Register (SWE_INGRSS_RATE_CMD)," on page 396 for
information on configuring the Ingress Excess Burst Size.
