Oversubscription of Fibre Channel links over a transport network is provided. A transport interface according to the present invention may maintain a small ingress buffer in addition to the normal egress buffer. The ingress buffer is primarily used for oversubscription and the egress buffer is primarily used for flow control. Ready indications to multiple local Fibre Channel ports may be locally generated when flow control conditions permit and may be distributed among the local Fibre Channel ports in response to preconfigured bandwidth sharing weights. Transport network efficiency is achieved by statistical multiplexing without significant increase in buffer memory requirements or introduction of latency into the flow control mechanism.

La présente invention concerne le surabonnement de liaisons canal fibre sur un réseau de transport. Une interface de transport de cette invention peut maintenir un petit tampon d'entrée en plus du tampon de sortie normal. Ce tampon d'entrée est principalement utilisé pour le surabonnement et le tampon de sortie est principalement utilisé pour commander le flux. Des indications prêtes vers les ports de canal fibre locaux multiples peuvent être générées localement lorsque les conditions de commande de flux le permettent et peuvent être réparties parmi les ports de canal fibre locaux en réponse à des pondérations de partage de bande passante préconfigurées. L'efficacité du réseau de transport est obtenue par un multiplexage statistique sans augmentation importante en besoin de mémoire tampon ni introduction de délai dans le mécanisme de commande de flux.
