Abstract

A method and apparatus in a source node for transmitting data to a target node. Responsive to a request to transmit data to the target node, a determination is made as to whether a selected period of time has passed without data transmitted from the source node being received by the target node. Responsive to detecting the selected period of time has passed without data transmitted from the source node being received by the target node, a determination is made as to whether space is available in the target node to receive the data. Responsive to a determination that space is unavailable in the target node, generating an indication that the target node is blocked is generated.
