Abstract
In a computing system having a plurality of transaction source nodes issuing transactions into a switching fabric, an underserviced node notifies source nodes in the system that it needs additional system bandwidth to timely complete an ongoing transaction. The notified nodes continue to process already started transactions to completion, but stop the introduction of new traffic into the fabric until such time as the underserviced node indicates that it has progressed to a preselected point.
