Abstract
The inventive mechanism initializes the credit and debit registers used in a network computer system that uses proactive flow control. During initialization, the credit register is initialized to zero, while the debit register is initialized to the amount of queue space available in that particular chip release. Once the debit register is non-zero, it eventually releases the credits. These credits will be added to the credit register. These activities of adding and releasing credits take place during normal operation. Thus, the sender and destination nodes do not have to undergo any other initialization stages for setting up the credits.
