+ disable-flow-control
+
+ Ethernet flow control is a mechanism for temporarily stopping the transmission
+ of data on Ethernet family computer networks. 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. Using flow control, the
+ receiving station can signal the sender requesting suspension of
+ transmissions until the receiver catches up.
+
+ Use this command to disable the generation of Ethernet flow control (pause
+ frames).
+
+ Example:
+
+ .. code-block:: none
+
+ set interfaces {{ var0 }} {{ var1 }} {{ var2 }} {{ var4 }} disable-flow-control \ No newline at end of file
