– Full – The interface supports transmission between the device and its link partner in both

between two link partners that enables a port to advertise its transmission rate, duplex mode, and
flow control abilities to its partner.

pause frame is sent to the transmitting station when the receiving packet buffer memory falls below
a certain level. Flow control may operate only when the LAG is in full duplex mode.
