RXnFREEBUF |
| Receive free buffer count. These bits contain the count of free buffers available. The | |
|
|
| RXFILTERTHRESH value is compared with this field to determine if low priority frames should be |
|
|
| filtered. The RXnFLOWTHRESH value is compared with this field to determine if receive flow |
|
|
| control should be issued against incoming packets (if enabled). This is a |
|
|
| This field rolls over to zero on overflow. If hardware flow control or QOS is used, the host must |
|
|
| initialize this field to the number of available buffers (one register per channel). The EMAC |
|
|
| decrements (by the number of buffers in the received frame) the associated channel register for |
|
|
| each received frame. The host must write this field with the number of buffers that have been freed |
|
|
| due to host processing. |
