- Abstract
The flow-control mechanism determinates the manner in which the communicational resources are allocated. Well-designed flow-control mechanism should provide efficient allocation of the communicational resources in wide variety of interconnection networks. The goal of this paper is to suggest a highly effective 'Step-Back-on-Blocking' buffered flow control. The proposed flow-control mechanism combines the advantages of the Wormhole and Virtual-Cut Through flow controls, whilst adds a means for adaptive allocation of the communicational resources. The 'Step-Back-on-Blocking' flow control provides low message latency and achieves high fraction of the channel bandwidth by performing conditional evasion of temporary blocked network resources. The effectiveness of the proposed flow control has been evaluated on the basis of numerous experiments conducted in OMNet++ discrete event simulation environment.
