If I do ethtool -a eth0 and it says RX/TX pause are on, doesn't that mean that the switch supports it? And ethtool -S eth0 will show if you've actually had some pauses or flow-control events. My dumb Netgear 24-port 1-gig switch supports hw flow control. Sounds like things are a bit more difficult with low-end 10gigE ports. -- greg _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, [email protected] To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
