Link Negotiation
Related to flow control is the auto-negotiation capability,
in which linked devices advertise their flow control
capabilities and automatically select the best common
mode of communication.
Rare cases (for example, linking to a device that does not
support auto-negotiation) may require that auto-negotiation
be disabled on a port, thereby enabling forced link on that
port. When forced link is enabled, linked devices must have
matching flow control capabilities. For example, a port that
is set for forced link and reception flow control can connect
successfully only with a port that is set for forced link and
transmission flow control.
