Abstract
A method for sending data, from an upstream device to a downstream device, including sending a piece of data from one among a plurality of virtual channels sharing the same input buffer memory of the downstream device, if this virtual channel uses a number of memory locations of the input buffer memory strictly less than a current ceiling. It further comprises measuring a communication latency between the upstream and downstream devices, and calculating the current ceiling from the measured latency.
