Abstract
Methods and apparatus are disclosed to negotiate flow control for a communication session. Example methods disclosed herein include receiving, at a first peer, a request to change from a first type of flow control to a second type of flow control from a second peer via an existing communication session. In example methods, the first peer uses the first type of flow control to control the flow of data at the first peer for the existing communication session. Example methods also include sending, via the communication session, a reply from a processor of the first peer to the second peer, the reply indicating whether the request to change from the first type of flow control to the second type of flow control for the communication session has been accepted, and further include performing, with the processor, subsequent flow control for the communication session in accordance with the reply.
