Claim 3:
4. A method according to claim 1, characterized in that said decapsulation module sends credit control messages to said encapsulation module, said encapsulation module uses credit from said credit control messages to determine when it the decapsulation module sends data packets, the method further comprising: said receiving computer pacing sending of credit such that data packets from said encapsulation module arrive at a rate that does not exceed a link-speed of the receiving computer;
further, when multiple sending computers are sending to the same receiving computer an aggregate amount of credit sent to all encapsulation modules of each sending computer is paced such that an aggregate rate of packets from the multiple sending computers does not exceed the link-speed of the receiving computer; and
said encapsulation module monitoring packet loss and latency raises an alert when said packet loss or latency is abnormally high.
