Abstract:
A network device implementing the subject system for end to end flow control may include at least one processor circuit that may be configured to detect that congestion is being experienced by at least one queue of a port and identify another network device that is transmitting downstream traffic being queued at the at least one queue of the port that is at least partially causing the congestion. The at least one processor circuit may be further configured to generate an end to end flow control message that comprises an identifier of the port, the end to end flow control message indicating that the downstream traffic should be flow controlled at the another network device. The at least one processor circuit may be further configured to transmit, out-of-band and through at least one intermediary network device, the end to end flow control message to the another network device.

Claim (Index 9):
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing code, the code comprising:\n code to receive, by a network device, upstream traffic from an end station device over a first port; code to forward the upstream traffic to another network device over a second port; code to receive, from the other network device over the second port, an end to end flow control message that indicates that the upstream traffic should be flow controlled by the end station device; code to convert the end to end flow control message into a priority flow control message; and code to transmit the priority flow control message to the end station device over the first port.
