ABSTRACT:
A method that utilizes virtual channels and a common pool of credits, controlled by a transmitter to maximize the throughput across an Inter-Switch Link in a Fibre Channel network. Each virtual channel is allocated a minimum number of credits and the remaining credits of the ISL are held in a common pool. When needs arise, the credits in the pool will be allocated or reallocated to make the best use dynamically by the transmitter.
