Pause frame address determines its not be bridge, the purpose of forwarding, which means that it can't through the switches? If A and B by switches sends data to C, C congestion, send PAUSE FRAME, must be through the switch to A and B ah, why say not be switches forward? There is no master answer, thank you

Based on my experience can give you an example to explain, assume that the TC (flow meter, used to produce traffic) port 1 to send packets to switch port 2, the second after switches forward, out of the port 3, if the port 3 to congestion, and TC can port 1 flow control, 2 flow control can also make the switch port, port 1 to send packets rate will reduce rate for the port 3 out, this is the flow control function,

First, do you know about pause frame format is definitely not! PAUSE the frame of the destination address is 0180 c2000001, instead of sending to the MAC address of A and B! Switch is not forwarded, but delay forwarding, pause has two bytes of the frame is used to represent the stop sending time, after this time, the switches will continue to forward! Say well, remember to points!

C congestion, send PAUSE FRAME to switch, switch if the flow control, will slow down, don't slow down if not open flow control, the is C will lose processing package, should be engraved, so remember to points oh
