ABSTRACT:
A method for supporting flow control by a SCSI initiator using a Packetized SCSI Protocol includes transmitting a data packet information unit in a Packetized SCSI Protocol Data Out phase. The SCSI initiator also receives a signal in said Packetized SCSI Protocol Data Out phase to indicate whether another data packet information unit is to be transmitted in said Packetized SCSI Protocol Data Out phase.
