ABSTRACT:
A method according to one embodiment may include receiving data in a receive buffer, the receive buffer comprising a plurality of buffers, and sending a hold command to a transmitting node currently sending data to hold transmission of additional data when a level of the data in the receive buffer reaches a high threshold level. Of course, many alternatives, variations, and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.
