    PAUSE operation can not be used to inhibit the transmission of MAC control frame. Normally, in 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps Ethernet, only symmetric flow control is supported. However, some switches (e.g. the Signamax 065-7940C-WS Switch) support not only symmetric but asymmetric flow controls for special applications. In Gigabit Ethernet, both symmetric flow control and asymmetric flow control are supported.

The receiving node always “listens” if there is traffic running over the medium when it is not receiving a frame.
