Abstract

A method for flow control may include obtaining a number of added receive buffers based on adding receive buffers to a shared receive queue, obtaining initiators each including a protocol data unit (PDU) window size, obtaining a number of active initiators based on determining whether each of the initiators is associated with an active network session, calculating a credit using the number of added receive buffers and the number of active initiators, determining that an initiator is associated with an active network session, and adjusting the PDU window size of the initiator using the credit.
