Credit-based receiver using selected transmit rates and storage thresholds for preventing under flow and over flow-methods, apparatus and program products

A receiver may be adapted to prevent overflow or underflow of its data storage by generating a transmit rate value as a feedback to the sender. Speed adjustments are performed periodically with a fixed time period denoted by Dt. Transmission rates are explicitly 0, Max/2, and Max. The receiver queue...

Zusammenfassung:A receiver may be adapted to prevent overflow or underflow of its data storage by generating a transmit rate value as a feedback to the sender. Speed adjustments are performed periodically with a fixed time period denoted by Dt. Transmission rates are explicitly 0, Max/2, and Max. The receiver queue is itself drained at a rate R that at any time satisfies 0
