A relay device is provided that may identify a quantity of empty data byte locations in a data buffer of the relay device. The relay device may receive an indicator associated with transmitting data packets. The relay device may pause or enable a lossless flow of data between the relay device, a host device, and a peer device based on the quantity of empty data byte locations, the indicator, or both. The relay device may include a first data interface coupled with a peer device, a second data interface coupled with a host device, a data buffer configured to store data packets received from the host device, and a state machine that enables a lossless transmission of data between the host device and peer device. The state machine may transmit a pause frame to the host device based on a data buffer utilization reaching a data storage capacity.
