The goal of this mechanism is to + ensure zero packet loss in the presence of network congestion. + + The first flow control mechanism, the pause frame, was defined by the IEEE + 802.3x standard. + + A sending station (computer or network switch) may be transmitting data faster + than the other end of the link can accept it.
