Enabling and disabling QoS priority-based flow control

Priority-based flow control (PFC) can be used to control network congestion. PFC can be used to

selectively pause lower priority traffic classes to ensure that high priority and delay-sensitive traffic

are not affected by network congestion. For example, if a large storage transfer is monopolizing the

network and causing congestion, PFC can be used to pause the storage transfer so other traffic

may use the network.
