Important Considerations

Flow control allows a port to:

Decrease the frequency with which it sends packets to a receiving device, if packets are being sent too rapidly.

Send flow control packets to a sending device, to request that the device slow its speed of transmission to the port.

The system does not count flow control packets in either receive or transmit statistics.
