Abstract
A system and method for converting a window based data link flow control to a rate based flow control. In addition to the conventional data link control window, a second window is established under control of an adaptive committed information rate (ACIR). When either the DLC window or the second window is closed information frames are queued. The second window is closed when a frame exceeds the burst size authorized in the ACIR.
