A method and system for transmitting data between at least one receiver operatively connected to at least one transmitter, and more particularly for permissible transmission via at least one high speed link having a plurality of virtual channels, includes the receiver (12) sending a virtual channel credit packet (22) for a particular virtual channel (16) to the transmitter (10) , the credit packet (22) being indicative that the receiver (10) is available to receive data and having a unique virtual channel number assigned to said particular virtual channel thereto. The transmitter (10) responds to the virtual channel credit packet, which includes transmitting data to the receiver if data is available. The receiver (12) receives the data transmitted from the transmitter (10).
