I believe what everybody is trying to reference is actually the subspec contained in 802.3x, which is generally dealing with Full Duplex transmission. An optional subcomponent deals with flow control using "pause" frames. This appears in these links (watch wrap):

A switch recieves data in it's port buffer at 100 mbps, as the frame travels the switches backplane it is copied to all ports, when it arrives at an ASIC chip (I forget if it's the Earl or what)in the SUP module, the module looks in it's table and decides what port it should go out of and tells

It doesn't. Layer 2 device buffers full = packets dropped. What should happen is that at the TCP level, the two end devices should through the TCP flow control mechanisms, agree to a reduced transmission on the part of the sender. UDP is another story - packets are bit-bucketed and no one is

Hi, Between the nic and the switch don't worry you won't even get a link if there is a speed mismatch. These things I think you will find do a little clocking if they don't get together there nothing will happen. Autonegotiate does something similar to modems training and will establish the
