Abstract
A system and method for efficiently allocating data storage to agents. A computing system includes an interconnect with intermediate buffers for storing transactions and corresponding payload data during transport between sources and destinations. A data storage limit is set on an amount of data storage corresponding to outstanding transactions for each of the multiple sources based on the initial buffer assignments. A number of outstanding transactions for each of the multiple sources is limited based on a corresponding data storage limit. If the rate of allocation of a given buffer assigned to a first source exceeds a threshold, then a second source is selected with available space exceeding a threshold in an assigned buffer. If it is determined the second source is not assigned to a buffer with a rate of allocation exceeding a threshold, then buffer storage is reassigned from the second source to the first source.
