A method and system for directing data transfers between applications residing on different computers or devices using a simplified flow control protocol. The protocol eliminates the need for and use of flow control modes and supports all possible data transfer mechanisms. The protocol also allows source and sink applications to independently set their own local memory threshold over which data transfers are made using remote direct memory access (RDMA) or zero-copy transfers. Through adjusting its threshold value or size, a sink or receiving application or component adapts its behavior to the behavior of a sending or source application or component.
