All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Iterable, java.util.Collection, BoundedCollection, Buffer

Direct Known Subclasses:

CircularFifoBuffer
```
public class BoundedFifoBuffer
extends java.util.AbstractCollection
implements Buffer, BoundedCollection, java.io.Serializable
```
The BoundedFifoBuffer is a very efficient implementation of Buffer that is of a fixed size.
The removal order of a BoundedFifoBuffer is based on the insertion order; elements are removed in the same order in which they were added. The iteration order is the same as the removal order.
The add(Object), remove() and get() operations all perform in constant time. All other operations perform in linear time or worse.
Note that this implementation is not synchronized. The following can be used to provide synchronized access to your BoundedFifoBuffer:
```
   Buffer fifo = BufferUtils.synchronizedBuffer(new BoundedFifoBuffer());
 
```
This buffer prevents null objects from being added.
This class is Serializable from Commons Collections 3.1.
Since:

Commons Collections 3.0 (previously in main package v2.1)
