Abstract
An electronic device includes a random access memory and an interface circuit. The interface circuit executes communication between the electronic device and an external electronic device. The interface circuit stores data received from the external electronic device in the random access memory. The interface circuit manages a plurality of credit quantities respectively corresponding to a plurality of data types and each indicating a quantity of data of a corresponding data type that is currently receivable from the external electronic device. The interface circuit transmits a first packet including credit information representing at least one credit quantity among the plurality of credit quantities, to the external electronic device.
