Ultra Ethernet: Receiver Credit-based Congestion Control (RCCC)

Introduction Receiver Credit-Based Congestion Control (RCCC) is a cornerstone of the Ultra Ethernet transport architecture, specifically designed to eliminate incast congestion. Incast occurs at the last-hop switch when the aggregate data rate from multiple senders exceeds the egress interface capacity of the target’s link. This mismatch leads to rapid buffer exhaustion on the outgoing interface,…
