ABSTRACT:
A method of speculative credit data flow control includes defining a low watermark value as a function of a number of open buffers in a receiving unit; receiving a data packet from a sending unit; determining whether the data packet includes a packet delay indicator; defining a first speculative credit value responsive to receiving the packet delay indicator; defining a second speculative credit value as a function of the first speculative credit value added to a regular credit value; generating a flow control packet including the second speculative credit value; and sending the flow control packet to the sending unit.
