METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRANSMISSION OF DATA BETWEEN RECEIVER AND TRANSMITTER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system that can attain efficient and reliable transmission by eliminating the need for an acknowledgement packet. SOLUTION: This invention provides the method and system that can transmit data between at least one receiver operatively connected to at least one transmitter. More specifically, the method and system transmits data for permissible transmission via at least a high-speed ling having virtual channels. This method includes a step where the receiver transmits a virtual channel credit packet with respect to a particular virtual channel to the transmitter. The receiver can utilize the credit packet to receive data and the credit packet indicates the presence of a unique virtual channel number assigned to the particular virtual channel. The transmitter responds to the virtual channel credit packet, which indicates that the data are transmitted to the receiver when the data are available. The receiver receives data sent from the transmitter.
