Abstract
A switch detecting a slow drain situation and providing a slow drain primitive to the slow draining device, such as a storage unit. The slow draining device detects the slow drain primitive and provides a throttling message to the relevant sources of frames being received by the slow draining device. The use of a primitive instead of a frame allows the slow condition notification to be provided even when there is no available credit for sending a frame.
