Managing High-Density Ethernet

The overall data rate for the GE-HDE line module is 2 Gbps; therefore, the I/O module becomes highly oversubscribed because of the wire rate of the line module. The data rate of the GE-8 I/O module is limited with larger frames, and the packet rate is limited with smaller frames.

Currently, flow control using MAC pause frames is disabled on the GE-8 I/O module. The I/O module does not transmit or receive pause frames.
