Flow control of data packets in a network may be enabled to at least one side of a virtual switching interface to provide a lossless environment. In some embodiments, wherever two buffer queues are in communication with at least one buffer queue being connected to a virtual switching interface, flow control may be used to determine if a threshold has been exceeded in one of the buffer queues. When exceeded, the transmission of data packets may cease to one of the buffer queues to prevent packet dropping and loss of data.
