Managed Network Software 6K32F Series - GarrettCom Magnum 6K32F Installation And User Manual

Magnum 6K32F/FR/FC/FRC Managed Switch Installation and User Guide (05/08)
When the Magnum 6K32F Series Switch detects that its free buffer queue
space is low, the Switch sends industry standard (full-duplex only) PAUSE packets ou
the devices sending packets to cause "flow control". This tells the sending devices
temporarily stop sending traffic, which allows a traffic catch-up to occur wit
dropping packets. Then, normal packet buffering and processing resumes.
Another feature implemented in Magnum 6K32F Series Switches is a collis
based flow-control mechanism (when operating half-duplex only). When the Switch
detects that its free buffer queue space is low, the Switch prevents more frames from
entering by forcing a collision signal on all receiving half-duplex ports to stop incoming
tr affic.
