Reserved

2

RXQOSACT

 

Receive Quality of Service (QOS) active bit. When asserted, indicates that receive quality of service

 

 

 

is enabled and that at least one channel freebuffer count (RXnFREEBUFFER) is less than or equal

 

 

 

to the RXFILTERLOWTHRESH value.

 

 

0

Receive quality of service is disabled.

 

 

1

Receive quality of service is enabled.

1

RXFLOWACT

 

Receive flow control active bit. When asserted, at least one channel freebuffer count

 

 

 

(RXnFREEBUFFER) is less than or equal to the channel's corresponding RXnFILTERTHRESH

 

 

 

value.

 

 

0

Receive flow control is inactive.

 

 

1

Receive flow control is active.

0

TXFLOWACT

 

Transmit flow control active bit. When asserted, this bit indicates that the pause time period is being

 

 

 

observed for a received pause frame. No new transmissions will begin while this bit is asserted,

 

 

 

except for the transmission of pause frames. Any transmission in progress when this bit is asserted

 

 

 

will complete.

 

 

0

Transmit flow control is inactive.

 

 

1

Transmit flow control is active.
