ABSTRACT:
A flow control mechanism for a packet switching system that provides for the continuous dynamic control of station window size beginning with call setup and extending through the duration of the call. A station window size can be of a first magnitude at call setup time when system traffic may be low. The window size can be subsequently reduced to free up port buffer space as system traffic increases. This permits the serving of more calls during periods of heavy traffic.
