In addition, Cisco extends Buffer-to-Buffer State Change Notification (BBSCN) and buffer-to-buffer credit recovery, which is supported on all Cisco switches between ISL ports, to the fabric ports attached to any end device. Over time, the corruption of receiver-ready messages, known as R_RDY primitives, can lead to a loss of credits, which can eventually cause a link to stop transmitting in one direction.

In addition, Cisco extends Buffer-to-Buffer Credit Recovery through Buffer-to-Buffer State Change Notification (BBSCN) to all port types that are attached to any end device. Over time, the corruption of receiver-ready, known as R_RDY primitives, can lead to a loss of credits, which can eventually cause a link to stop transmitting in one direction.
