Pause on
Exhausted Host
Ring
The AT-VNC10S network adapter
has two possible scenarios that
can trigger pause frames: a host
ring buffer is exhausted or the on-
chip buffers are depleted. With
RSS enabled inside the system, it
is possible to achieve better
Ethernet throughput if no pause
frames are being generated in a
case where a host ring buffer (of
multiple RSS rings) is exhausted.
The default is Disabled.
