Abstract

A first device determines whether an indicator is configured to allow use of an increased value for an information unit pacing credit that is greater than a default value for the information unit pacing credit, where the information unit pacing credit indicates a number of information units that a second device is allowed to send to the first device without waiting for any additional response from the first device. In response to determining that the indicator is configured to allow use of the increased value for the information unit pacing credit that is greater than the default value for the information unit pacing credit, the first device adjusts the information unit pacing credit via a response sent from the first device to the second device, to the increased value that is greater than the default value.
