Abstract
A method for communication includes, in a sender node that sends packets to a receiver node over a physical link, making a decision, for a packet that is associated with a respective virtual link selected from among multiple virtual links, whether the receiver node is to buffer the packet in a dedicated buffer assigned to the respective virtual link or in a shared buffer that is shared among the multiple virtual links. The packet is sent, and the decision is signaled, from the sender node to the receiver node.
