Abstract
An Infiniband port can be provided. The port can have an input buffer for storing received data, a flow control manager operable to detect an available space in the input buffer, and a packet generator operable to generate a flow control packet to advertise available space in the input buffer to a remote device transmitting data for storage in the input buffer. The flow control manager can be operable to trigger the packet generator to generate a flow control packet on the basis of at least one of a timer, a received data quantity characteristic for the input buffer and a buffer utilization characteristic for the input buffer.
