ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for communicating multiple threads, concurrently on a single channel, features a process for prioritizing and limiting the transmission time allocated to any particular host. The invention features providing a channel switch capable of communicating with a plurality of client sources, the sources being connected for transmitting frames of data to the channel, and to at least one storage device connected to the channel. The information transmission is formatted and controlled at the switch in accordance with a frame protocol and the protocol provides a predetermined method for selecting which information host to connect to which channel and for how long. The switch allocates connection line capacity to the sources according to a selected priority and the credit or buffer available to the source. Accordingly, an average priority waiting is associated with each information source.
