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 |

|
|
| 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 the associated channel register for each |
|
|
| received frame by the number of buffers in the received frame. The host must write this field with |
|
|
| the number of buffers that have been freed due to host processing. |
