Abstract
A communication system includes a transmit (TX) device and a receive (RX) device. The TX device is configured to transmit data over a communication link. The RX device is configured to receive the data transmitted by the TX device over the communication link, to buffer the received data in an RX buffer, to assess a fill level of the RX buffer, to select, depending on the fill level of the RX buffer, either a pause-resume flow-control scheme or a credit-based flow-control scheme, and to apply the selected flow-control scheme in coordination with the TX device.
