VIAVI TestCenter: Can the CV-8GFC-S4 Fiber Channel card support per stream flow control (Recever Ready Delay)?
• CV-8GFC-S4 design does not support per stream flow control. It can only support per port flow control using R-RDY delay.
• The R_RDY OS is a port to port flow control mechanism, and doesn’t have any way to identify to the attached device which stream it is sending the R_RDY for.
• On E-Ports, there is a VC_Rdy mechanism (virtual channel ready) that can effectively flow control virtual channels separately.
• In theory, VC_Rdy could support per stream flow control but we don't support VC_Rdy.
