Feature Description
Flow control Allows traffic transmission between a switch port and another
Ethernet device to be paused for a specified period of time when
congestion occurs.
PFC Provides a way to distinguish which traffic on a physical link is
paused when congestion occurs based on the priority of the
traffic.
Storm control Limits the amount of broadcast, unknown unicast, and multicast
frames accepted and forwarded by the switch.
