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! -- pi@opsec.eu +49 171 3101372 12 years to go !
