I am no wiser after reading the current version. It reads like a technical manual description for computer networking experts. Would be great if someone in the know can turn it into an encyclopedia entry. Thanks. Tale 10:26, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
- I'm tempted to nominate this for deletion because it's just so incomprehensible. But maybe someone will rescue it. --Fang Aili 16:20, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

I see that the test link is broken: http://www.iol.unh.edu/testsuites/ethernet/archive.php#Flow%20Control%20Test%20Suites I'm not sure if I should link to ftp://ftp.iol.unh.edu/pub/ethernet/test_suites/CL31_FC/flow_control_testsuite_v1.3.pdf maybe someone else can correct it. For now I think we should remove the link.
[edit] This article is crap
It contains no technical detail, just restating the obvious which anyone with a networking background would know (Duh, I know what Ethernet is, I know what flow control is, I want to know the details of exactly how it works in Ethernet).
Frankly, these kind of articles are on topics which only IT people would be interested in, and so if you are not from an IT background, you shouldn't expect to understand it. These articles shouldn't be explaining obvious stuff like Ethernet, flow control. If you don't know what those things are, go learn about them first before tackling something like this. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 137.111.11.69 (talk) 21:07, 31 January 2007 (UTC).
