Hi, all
I have a 10G NIC card with fiber interface, this NIC is drived by a private os with l2 rxonly forwarding function,
and I want to test this NIC could sent out PAUSE frame.
host client
+--------+ +------------+
| | fiber | 10G NIC |
| NIC | <===> | l2fwd |
| | | rxonly |
+--------+ +------------+
If host send packet faster than client could receive, client 10G NIC should send out PAUSE frame,
and use "ethtool -a eth0" on host to show any PAUSE frame received.
How could I do this without any faster NIC card than 10G?
thanks
bill
