I'm sure flow control was explained somewhere but search did not answer my question. Yes Chris, I did use the search function, and the search function did not help me....(before you ask)

Flow Control is defined by the IEEE 802.3x standard

Since it is an IEEE standard it functions the same on all devices the same way so any switches manual or white paper would describe how it works.

I did a Google search for: "ethernet flow control obey"
Ironically Google found a post from our Forum and a lot of other documentation on Flow Control settings.
