Abstract
In a flow control method, operation flow is controlled on a per connection basis. The method comprises managing a sending peer to prevent overflow of a receiving peer's receiver credits and allocating a number of send buffers at the sending peer greater than or equal to the maximum number of receiver credits that can be indicated by the receiving peer. The technique prevents the sending peer from overflowing its set of send buffers, arising due to re-use, without taking completions on operations queued to a Send Queue.
