Flow Control
The DFE-538TX implements IEEE 802.3x compliant flow control for full duplex,
which provides traffic management functions for full-duplex operation. Flow
control allows for enhanced full duplex operation with switches. When operating at
full duplex (requiring a direct connection to a switch) and the switch’s data buffer is
about to overflow, a Pause frame will be transmitted to the DFE-538TX. The
ensuing idle time keeps the buffer from overflowing and prevents data from being
lost. This enhancement can improve network throughput, avoid collisions and
prevent lost data, helping the network achieve optimal performance.
