As I understand PAUSE feature negotiated during auto-negotiation 
process. If flow-control disabled on one side (switch for example) then 
other side (host) will not to use this feature too.  Is it right?

I have hw.ix.flow_control=3 (what does is it means ?) and dev.ix.0.fc=3 
(and what does is it means?)

Unfortunately it never shoes counters about UDP multicast traffic.

I'll increase kern.ipc.maxsockbuf and net.inet.udp.recvspace at next 
week and write about results.


Back to my original question: is it possible to monitor `netstat -n -p 
udp -f inet -s` counters by SNMP?
