Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Managed Switch Installation and User Guide 05/07)

Another feature implemented in Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Switches is a collision-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 traffic.
