Abstract
One example provides a network device including a queue to receive frames from a source, a processor, and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor. The memory stores instructions causing the processor, after execution of the instructions by the processor, to determine whether a flow control threshold of the queue has been exceeded, and in response to determining that the flow control threshold of the queue has been exceeded, generate a message to be sent to the source of the frame that exceeded the flow control threshold. The message includes a pause duration for which the source is to stop transmitting frames.
