ABSTRACT:
A computer system for connection in a network, which has a number of other devices each of which may receive communications from the computer system. The computer system includes a network interface and a message transmission control circuit. The network interface establishes a communications session with a selected one of the other devices as a destination for transmitting messages to the selected device. The message transmission control circuit enables the network interface to establish a communications session and transmit messages thereover with the selected device. The message transmission control circuit initially enables the network interface to transmit a number of messages corresponding to a log-in credit value selected for the selected device. Thereafter, the message transmission control circuit enables the network interface to transmit message based on flow control information received from the selected device. This reduces the amount of overhead required at the beginning of a communication session by allowing the computer system to transmit a number of messages corresponding to the selected log-in credit value prior to getting flow control information from the selected device.
