Abstract
A data packet switching node that temporarily stores data packets received from at least one source network adapter and transmits them to at least one destination network adapter comprises a data packet flow control system to control the data packet flow. The data packet flow control system comprises identifier to determine the at least one destination adapter of each received data packet. Then, flow control logic coupled to the storage allow computing a data packet flow value representing the traffic for the at least one destination adapter. The data packet flow value is transmitted simultaneously to the at least one source network adapter and to the at least one destination network adapter each time a data packet for the at least one destination network adapter is stored into the storage.
