FIELD: information technology.
SUBSTANCE: method involves transmitting a first packet from a transmitting device to a receiving device through an inter-component connection, wherein the first packet includes a header indicating the length of useful packet data, and completing transmission of the packet at the packet disconnection boundary, when the transmitting device does not have sufficient credit to transmit data to the next disconnection boundary, wherein the packet disconnection boundary corresponds to the available packet disconnection boundary and whose length is less than the length of useful packet data. Packet transmission is completed after transmitting a first segment with useful data. The transmitting device realises said method.
EFFECT: high reliability and flexibility of transmitting data by allowing a transmitting device to indicate the length of useful data, which can be greater than the actual volume of information transmitted in the useful data.
