Supplemental flow control mechanisms are provided to facilitate efficient data exchange between Fibre Channel ports over extended distances. In one implementation, a supplemental buffer mechanism is maintained and managed in part by substituting a locally generated ready indication signal for the remotely generated ready indication signal provided by the Fibre Channel standard. In this way, data flow may be adjusted optimally irrespective of the relatively long propagation time of the ready signals exchanged by the two sides of the link.
L'invention concerne des mécanismes de régulation de débit supplémentaires permettant d'optimiser l'échange de données entre des ports de canal de fibres optiques sur de grandes distances. Dans un mode de réalisation, un mécanisme tampon supplémentaire est entretenu et partiellement géré par substitution du signal d'indication de disponibilité généré à distance selon la norme des fibres optiques par un signal d'indication de disponibilité généré localement. Ceci permet d'optimiser la régulation du débit des données indépendamment du temps de propagation relativement long des signaux de disponibilité échangés des deux côtés de la liaison.
