In general, in one aspect, the disclosure describes a flow control hub that includes a scoreboard memory device to maintain flow control status for a plurality of flows. Each of the flows is identified by an associated index. The apparatus also includes an address decoder to receive a flow control message and to determine an associated index based on the address portion. The apparatus further includes an updater to update the flow control status in said memory device based on the received flow control message.
