> SFC sends credits when it has seen max_credits. This means the sender will always block before receiving credits. In HEAD, the credit replenishments are sent OOB, so the idea is the blocking period should be short. However, Branch_2_4 does not have OOB messages, so blocking periods could be significant, particularly if the receiver is also sending a lot of messages.
> Solution to this is to send credits when a configurable number of messages have been seen, with the configurable number being < max_credits. Any credit replenishment message should include the number of bytes seen; sender only gives himself that many credits. This maintains SFC's guarantee of not granting more credit than what has been seen.
> This may be appropriate in HEAD as well, as even an OOB message could take a while to travel.
