A shared buffer for near-end and optical interface flow control in fiber optic communications is described. In one embodiment, the invention includes receiving data from a client as frames in a first format, storing the data in a addressable buffer, recording addresses for the end of each received frame, reading the stored data from the buffer for conversion to frames of a second format, and sending a ready signal to the client upon reading data stored at a recorded address for the end of a received frame.
