Abstract
Interface circuitry is provided to control the flow of data transmitted over a high-speed serial link. The interface circuitry may receive data over a high-speed serial link and store the received data in a receive buffer. The receive buffer may be connected to an additional buffer in an application layer module. The application layer module may produce credits based on the processing capacity of the additional buffer and send those credits to the interface circuitry. The interface circuitry may then send these credits over the high speed link.
