ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method of pacing a stream of data transmitted from a data source to a buffered data destination with a determined number of available storage units, the data destinations being configured to consume data and thereby to free storage units for receipt of additional data. The pacing of data communication includes: (1) identifying a beginning credit value; (2) incrementing the beginning credit value with each storage unit freed to identify an present credit value; (3) transmitting units of data in accordance with determined limits, the number of data units sent providing a transmission count; (4) selectively updating the determined number of available storage units by determining the difference between the beginning credit value and the present credit value, and determining the sum of the result and the previously determined number of available storage units to provide an updated determined number of available storage units; and (5) selectively updating the determined number of available storage units by determining the difference between the transmission count and the previously determined number of available storage units to provide an updated determined number of available storage units.
