Abstract
A system for congestion control using a flow level transmit mechanism is disclosed. In some embodiments, the system comprises a source SFA and a receive SFA. The source SFA is configured to detect and classify a congestion notification packet (CNP) generated based on congestion in a network; select a receive block from a plurality of receive blocks based on the CNP; forward the CNP to a dedicated congestion notification queue of the receive block; identify a transmit queue from a plurality of transmit blocks based on processing the congestion notification queue, wherein the transmit queue originated a particular transmit flow causing the congestion; and stop the transmit queue.
