Patent abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for controlling congestion in a network such as a fiber channel network. Techniques are provided for detecting congestion at a shared resource such as a network node. When a controller sends data to a shared resource, the delay between sending the data and receiving a credit is measured. If the delay is significant, it is assumed that the path towards the destination associated with the data is congested and subsequent traffic from the port associated with the data is blocked.
