Abstract

See full text

Data bandwidth on a congested link of a Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) network, is controlled by a Pause MAC Frame which carries information identifying devices causing the problem on the link. The Recipient of the Pause MAC Frame can use the information to deactivate selected devices on the congested link. As a consequence, the data bandwidth is reduced without shutting down the link.
