Zusammenfassung:An output queue of a multi-plane network device includes a first processing circuit, a plurality of storage devices and a second processing circuit. The first processing circuit generates packet selection information based on an arrival sequence of a plurality of packets. The storage devices store a plurality of packet linked lists for the output queue. The second processing circuit enables a packet to dequeuefrom the output queue by selecting a linked list entry from the packet linked lists according to the packet selection information.
