hello,

J'm performing a simulation on message transfers between T9000, through an IMS C104. Some questions occurred:

1) It is said in the documentation that if the output link of the IMS C104 is not    free, then the packet is bufferized, but WHERE ? (input or output link of C104)
2) What happens if two packets from different sources try to reach the same busy     destination ? They should both be bufferized, so how many buffers there are ?

A possible solution to these problems would be to have 32 buffers of 32 bytes for each output link of the IMS C104, is it correct ?

Thanks in advance for answers.
