• Also called as End-to-end Flow-control
– Does not depend on the number of network hops
• Separate from Link-level Flow-Control
– Link-level flow-control only relies on the number of bytes being
transmitted, not the number of messages
– Message-level flow-control only relies on the number of messages
transferred, not the number of bytes
• If 5 receive WQEs are posted, the sender can send 5
messages (can post 5 send WQEs)
– If the sent messages are larger than what the receive buffers are
posted, flow-control cannot handle it
