Flow Control
Whether or not the receiving node sends feedback to the sending node is
determined by this item. When enabled, once the device exceeds the input data
rate of another device, the receiving device will send a PAUSE frame which halts
the transmission of the sender for a specified period of time. When disabled, the
receiving device will drop the packet if too much to process.
