Abstract
A method for storage device compression/deduplication layer congestion control includes comparing a level of congestion at a compression/deduplication layer of a storage device with a lower congestion limit. The compression/deduplication layer is configured for data compression and/or data deduplication of a data packet prior to storing data of the data packet. The data packet is received from a computing device using transmission control protocol ('TCP'). The method includes, in response to the level of congestion exceeding the lower congestion limit, marking as congested, in a flow table, a data flow between the computing device and the storage device. The flow table is shared between the compression/deduplication layer and a TCP layer of the storage device.
