Hi!
I'm researching the topic of PAUSE counters (receiving side) for
FreeBSD systems.
That's a sort of flow control with ethernet, see e.g.:
http://www.techfest.com/networking/lan/ethernet3.htm#3.2.1
Cisco switches seem to receive and count them, which helps
to find short-term (seconds) overloaded links.
Can FreeBSD 6.x or 7.x handle PAUSE frames, at least receiving them ?
Thanks for any pointer!
