Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a computing system. The computing system includes a packet processor, a buffer management module, a data monitoring module, and a flow control module. The packet processor identifies a class of service indicating priority-based flow control associated with a remote computing system from a notification message. The buffer management module creates a buffer dedicated for frames belonging to the class of service from the remote computing system in response to identifying the class of service. The data monitoring module detects a potential overflow of the buffer. The flow control module operates in conjunction with the packet processor to generate a pause frame in response to detecting a potential overflow.
