10-Gigabit Ethernet Driver Parameter Values and
Definitions
TABLE 3-1 describes the parameters and settings for the ixge device driver.
Flow Control Parameters
The ixge device sources (transmits) and terminates (receives) pause frames
conforming to the IEEE 802.3x Frame Based Link Level Flow Control Protocol. In
response to received flow control frames, the ixge device can slow down its
transmit rate. The ixge device is capable of sourcing flow control frames by
requesting the link partner to slow down, provided that the link partner supports
this feature. By default, the driver advertises both transmit and receive pause
capability during autonegotiation.
