Abstract: A system and method for credit-based link level flow control. In one embodiment, a byte-based flow control mechanism is based on a sender effectively maintaining a buffer state at the receiver. In maintaining a buffer state at the receiver, the sender is provided with information regarding byte expansion at the receiver. This byte-expansion information can be used by the sender to identify the amount of additional storage needed by the receiver when storing a packet transmitted by the sender in the receiver's packet buffer.
