Exhausted Host
Ring The AT-VNC10S network adapter
has two possible scenarios that
can trigger pause frames: a host
ring buffer is exhausted or the on-

is possible to achieve better
Ethernet throughput if no pause
frames are being generated in a
case where a host ring buffer (of
multiple RSS rings) is exhausted.
