ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus to provide a data replication system to receive a data transfer request from a first component at a transmitter module in a continuous data replication system having a production site and a backup site, the production site having a transmitter module and a transmitter credit mechanism, the transmitter module to transmit data over a network for replication in the backup site, detect a high-load condition at the transmitter module, and modify a flow of credits from the transmitter credit mechanism to the first component to reduce or stop data flow to the transmitter module.
