3.1 PHY Monitoring and Port Mode Setup One of the software’s major tasks is to continuously monitor the PHYs in order to set up the switch ports according to whether the link is up or down, and in the latter case, what the current speed, duplex mode and pause capabilities are. The PHYs are polled every 100 ms. 3.2 Flow Control In the 16-port switch, flow control (back pressure) is also supported in half duplex. Flow control can be enabled or disabled on a per-port basis from
