Critical Issue
Description
The IEEE standard 802.3 figure 31b-2 states that the pause timer should not be loaded with a received quanta value until the transmitter is idle.
This spec aspect was not implemented in the Low Latency 40G and 100Gbps Ethernet MAC and PHY Megacore® Function flow control implementation.
Therefore, if the TX is not idle when the pause quanta are loaded, the requested pause time may be shorter than expected.
Resolution
This problem is not currently scheduled to be fixed.
