Abstract: A method for communication includes storing packets received from a sending node over a communication link in a receive buffer of a receiving node. The receive buffer includes one or more blocks having a first block size. A first credit count, corresponding to a number of available blocks in the receive buffer, is derived. The first credit count is converted to a second credit count so as to represent an available space in the receive buffer in accordance with a second block size, which is different from the first block size. A transmission rate of the sending node is controlled by publishing the second credit count to the sending node over the communication link.

Abstract: A method for communication includes, in a sender node that sends packets to a receiver node over a physical link, making a decision, for a packet that is associated with a respective virtual link selected from among multiple virtual links, whether the receiver node is to buffer the packet in a dedicated buffer assigned to the respective virtual link or in a shared buffer that is shared among the multiple virtual links. The packet is sent, and the decision is signaled, from the sender node to the receiver node.
