This read-write object specifies the disposition applied to IEEE 802.3x flow-control PAUSE frames on this port's CPD profile, controlling how link-level congestion-signaling frames are handled. An administrator sets this to determine whether the device honors, drops, or passes through PAUSE frames from the connected device on this specific port. For example, setting this disposition appropriately on a port connected to a device that should not be allowed to pause traffic prevents that neighbor from throttling the carrier's outbound flow via PAUSE frames.
