ABSTRACT:
The system and method for adaptive flow control transmits pause off packets to network nodes after a calculated time based on switch resource usage thereby alleviating congestion is a network switching system. The method includes measuring a resource usage level in a network switching system, incrementing a register based on the measurement if the measurement exceeds a predetermined level, decrementing the register at a constant rate, and generating a pause off packet when the register is decremented to or below a pre-specified level.
