<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve dynamic resource allocation for a transaction request issued to a reception device by a transmission source device. <P>SOLUTION: The reception device accepts a transaction request when there is buffer storage usable for the transaction request. When there is no usable storage space, a confirmation response signal generator generates and outputs a rejection confirmation response signal showing that the request is not accepted by the reception device even though the request is received. A credit generator can reserve at least one usable storage position in a buffer and can generate a credit consent for a transmission source device transmitting one of transaction requests that are not accepted by the reception device. The credit consent shows that there is at least one reserved storage position in the transmission source device such that the reception device accepts a subsequent transaction request from the transmission source device. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
