Re: BLOCKED frame specification

Sorry, hit submit by accident :)

Flow control is hop by hop, not end to end, and so all we care about is
detecting the hop-by-hop flow control issues.
Specifically, we care about detecting when the remote side could not send
because its flow control window was zero.
