Abstract
Apparatuses and techniques for dynamic credit control in the context of a multi-traffic class communication system are described. Dynamic credit control is provided through the use of central-controlled, traffic class receiver buffers for multiple traffic classes. The size of the traffic class receiver buffers can be modified on-the-fly, during operation of the system. This provides a high degree of flexibility, particularly in the context of heavy traffic class packet traffic which, in turn, greatly facilitates operation of today's advanced applications.
