dot3 In Pause Frames

1.3.6.1.2.1.10.7.10.1.3

interface with an opcode indicating the PAUSE operation. This counter does not increment when the interface is operating in half-duplex mode. For interfaces operating at 10 Gb/s, this counter can roll over in less than 5 minutes if it is incrementing at its maximum rate. Since that amount of time could be less than a management station's poll cycle time, in order to avoid a loss of information, a management station is advised to poll the dot3HCInPauseFrames object for 10 Gb/s or faster interfaces. Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the value of ifCounterDiscontinuityTime.
