Receive operation for PAUSE function
Upon reception of a valid MAC Control frame, the STE10/100A will start a timer for the
length of time specified by the MAC control parameters field. When the timer value reaches
zero, the STE10/100A exits the PAUSE state. However, a PAUSE frame will not affect the
transmission of a frame that has been submitted to the MAC (i.e., once a transmit out of the
MAC is begun, it can’t be interrupted). Conversely, the STE10/100A will not begin to transmit
a frame more than one slot-time after valid PAUSE frame is received a with a non-zero
PAUSE time. If the STE10/100A receives a PAUSE frame with a zero PAUSE time value, the
STE10/100A exits the PAUSE state immediately.
