Abstract
The present invention relates generally to an information handling system. Aspects of the present invention include an adaptive credit-based flow control in an information handling system. In embodiments, a request/grant credit system can be eliminated since the receiver can dynamically allocate credits based on demand at the sender. In embodiments, the sender can provide information related to its queue size to the receiver. The receiver can estimate queue size and demand based on the estimated queue size. In embodiments, the receiver allocates credits based on sender demand.
