An apparatus and method of mediating data flow across a network from a network switching system to a server utilizes a control message that limits repeated attempts to access a busy server port. To that end, it first is determined if the server port is available so that a control message can be generated reflecting the determined availability of the server port. If the server port is determined to be not available, then the control message is generated to include command data commanding the network switching system to not transmit data to the server port until receipt of another control message having control data indicating that the server is available. In contrast, if the server port is determined to be available, then the control message is generated to include control data indicating that the server port is available. Once generated, the control message is forwarded to the network switching system.
