2.10.1.3.1 Collision-Based Receive Buffer Flow Control
Receive flow control does not depend on the value of the incoming frame destination address. A collision is generated for any incoming packet, regardless of the destination address, if any EMAC enabled channel’s free buffer register value is less than or equal to the channel’s flow threshold value.
2.10.1.3.2 IEEE 802.3x-Based Receive Buffer Flow Control
IEEE
The EMAC transmits a pause frame to the reserved multicast address at the first available opportunity (immediately if currently idle or following the completion of the frame currently being transmitted). The pause frame contains the maximum possible value for the pause time (FFFFh). The EMAC counts the receive pause frame time (decrements FF00h to 0) and retransmits an outgoing pause frame, if the count reaches 0. When the flow control request is removed, the EMAC transmits a pause frame with a zero pause time to cancel the pause request.
Note that transmitted pause frames are only a request to the other end station to stop transmitting. Frames that are received during the pause interval are received normally (provided the receive FIFO is not full).
Pause frames are transmitted if enabled and triggered, regardless of whether or not the EMAC is observing the pause time period from an incoming pause frame.
The EMAC transmits pause frames as described below:

All quantities are hexadecimal and are transmitted
If the RXBUFFERFLOWEN bit in MACCONTROL is cleared to 0 while the pause time is nonzero, then the pause time is cleared to 0 and a zero count pause frame is sent.
