    To make sure that buffers are not timing out too quickly when passing traffic to slower ports. The following sections describe the P220G switch buffer and queueing implementation. ++,  $ Frames are buffered in the I/O port (Figure 4-1), before and after traversing the switch.
  • Page 59 The normal-priority queue uses either IEEE 802.3X PAUSE (variable timed XOFF) flow control or half-duplex collisions to shut off incoming frames before the queue overflows. Cajun P220G Switch Configuration and Operation Guid e...
  • Page 60 Managing Buffers and Queues The P220G switch implements two flow control disciplines along the entire path that frames travel. The default case is that when output buffers fill up, frames destined for a particular buffer will be dropped after being switched by the crossbar. This should only occur in a case where the output port is very congested.
