Abstract:
Apparatus configured to receive a first end-to-end flow control representation for at least one logical connection from a first further apparatus to a second further apparatus, update at least one end-to-end credit value for the at least one logical connection from the first further apparatus to the second further apparatus dependent on the first end-to-end flow control representation, select at least one logical connection to the second further apparatus dependent on the end-to-end credit value, generate a second end-to-end flow control representation for the at least one logical connection to the second further apparatus, and transmit the second end-to-end flow control representation addressed to the second further apparatus.
