Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a computer system for managing data transfer. The computer system includes a memory, a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, a send component and a receive component having a message queue and a controller. A single link interface communicatively couples the send component to the receive component. The single link interface includes a mainline channel and a sideband channel, and the computer system is configured to perform a method. The method includes transmitting mainline channel messages over the mainline channel from the send component to the receive component. The method further includes transmitting sideband channel messages over the sideband channel from the send component to the message queue of the receive component. The method further includes utilizing the controller to control a flow of the sideband channel messages to the message queue without relying on sending feedback to the send component about the flow.
