摘要: The invention provides an improved architecture for credit based flow control. Briefly, the memory space within receiving switch is separated into two parts, a statically allocated portion and dynamically portion. Packets are first placed in portion, credits returned immediately. When has no additional space, packets then stored to specific virtual circuit. Credits when removed from This scenario allows immediate return of there available It also sharing overall since more can be made particular
