## 🏗️ Implementation Architecture
### Design Pattern: Producer-Consumer with Thread-Safe Queue

├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │
│ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │
│ │ ArrayBlockingQueue<byte[]> │ │

│ • poll() → Non-blocking retrieval │
│ • getStats() → Atomic snapshot │
│ • shutdown() → Idempotent termination │
│ │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
### Key Implementation Details
1. **ArrayBlockingQueue**:
- Fixed capacity circular buffer
- Thread-safe offer/poll operations
- No explicit locks needed (queue handles synchronization)
2. **FIFO Overflow Strategy (Req-FR-27)**:
```java
if (!buffer.offer(data)) {
byte[] discarded = buffer.poll(); // Remove oldest
droppedPackets.incrementAndGet();
buffer.offer(data); // Add new
}
```
3. **Atomic Statistics**:
- AtomicLong for lock-free counter updates
- Zero contention on statistics updates
- Consistent snapshot via getStats()
4. **Shutdown Handling**:
- AtomicBoolean for thread-safe state management
- Idempotent shutdown() method
- Graceful rejection of new operations

```
### Synchronization Strategy
1. **No Explicit Locks**: ArrayBlockingQueue handles all synchronization
2. **Atomic Operations**: Statistics use AtomicLong (lock-free CAS)
3. **Non-Blocking**: offer() and poll() never block (fail fast)
4. **Overflow Handling**: Atomic sequence (poll oldest → offer new)
### Race Condition Handling
**Scenario**: Buffer full, concurrent offer() and poll()
```java
// Producer A // Consumer B
offer(data1) → full poll() → removes item
poll() → remove oldest
offer(data1) → success // Race: slot already freed
// Solution: Retry logic with atomic counters
if (!buffer.offer(data)) {
buffer.poll(); // Make space
droppedPackets.increment(); // Atomic
if (!buffer.offer(data)) { // Retry
// Race: consumer freed slot
buffer.offer(data); // Final attempt
}
}
```
