ABSTRACT:
An embodiment of the present invention is disclosed to include a fiber channel target device for receiving information in the form of frames and including a controller device coupled to a microprocessor for processing the frames received from the host, at least one receive buffer for storing the frames and having a buffer size, the controller device issuing credit to the host for receipt of further frames in a manner wherein only one microprocessor is needed to process the frames while maintaining a buffer size that is as small as the number of first type of frames that can be received by the fiber channel target device from the host.
