The present invention allocates a buffer within a buffer pool to each connection to an application or to each application. By managing the user of the buffers in this manner, the present invention avoids the conventional problems of the possibility of a dominant application monopolizing virtually all of the available buffer space and forcing the other applications to wait for space to become available. Additionally, because each application has its own buffer space allocated to it, it minimizes the risk of the problems of one application contaminating other applications. A method according to the present invention for buffer management for transferring data in a processing system comprises the steps of opening a virtual circuit, allocating a buffer for the virtual circuit, utilizing the buffer, and returning control of the buffer to an owner after utilization of the buffer.
