Abstract
One embodiment can provide a method and system for implementing flow control. During operation, a switch identifies a command from a host to access a storage device coupled to the switch. The switch queues the command in a command queue corresponding to the host. In response to determining that an amount of data pending transmission to the host from the storage device is below a predetermined threshold, the switch removes a command from the command queue and forwards the removed command to the storage device.
