A Flow Control Scheme Based on Per Hop and Per Flow in Commodity Switches for Lossless Networks

Performing flow control inside a network can effectively avoid packet loss due to buffer overflow in switches. IEEE 802.3x exercises a per-hop link-based flow control scheme to achieve this goal. IEEE 802.1Qbb Priority-based Flow Control (PFC) improves IEEE 802.3x by proposing a per-hop per-service-...
