Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus are provided for implementing speculative credit flow control in a data communications link. A receiving node selects and sends a number of speculative credits as part of a total number of credits sent to a transmitting node. The receiving node receives and processes communications from the transmitting node. The receiving node dynamically determines when a change is needed for the number of speculative credits and updates the number of speculative credits. The number of speculative credits is selected for optimizing performance on the communications link.
