Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing techniques for monitoring a state of a device of a switched fabric network, the device including on-chip queues to store queue descriptors and a data buffer to store data packets, each queue descriptor having a corresponding data packet; detecting a first trigger condition to transition the device from a first state to a second state; and recovering space in the data buffer in response to the first trigger condition detecting, the recovering comprising selecting one or more of the on-chip queues for discard, and removing the data packets corresponding to queue descriptors in the selected one or more on-chip queues from the data buffer.
