Methods and systems for controlling transmission rates in networks |
摘要 |
Methods and systems for network communications are disclosed. In particular methods and systems for providing communications rate controls from remote sources are provided. For example, a machine-implemented method includes: managing, at a target, a request to transmit (R2T) queue and an associated data credit counter; incrementing the data credit counter based on an allowed transfer rate; selecting an R2T packet from the R2T queue; determining if the R2T packet should be sent based on the data credit counter; sending the R2T packet to an initiator when the R2T packet indicates data transfer less than the data credit counter; and decrementing the data credit counter based on the R2T packet when the R2T packet is sent. |

1. A machine implemented method, comprising:
managing, at a target, a request to transmit (R2T) queue and an associated data credit counter; incrementing the data credit counter based on an allowed transfer rate; selecting an R2T packet from the R2T queue; determining if the R2T packet should be sent based on the data credit counter; sending the R2T packet to an initiator when the R2T packet indicates data transfer less than the data credit counter; and decrementing the data credit counter based on the R2T packet when the R2T packet is sent. |
