Congestion control isn't a credit based mechanism. While InfiniBand flow
control is defined between two ports of the same link, congestion control is
working across the fabric between a congestion point (a switch) and a reaction
point (source node). Reaction point implements a Congestion Control Table that
contains an array of values of injection rate delay used to control
congestion. You can find more information in the IBTA LWG Errata document
3Q2010.
