From cd7664f69fe1f3f75b664503ae3e11a2971a4865 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Don Skidmore <donald.c.skidmore@intel.com> Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2009 21:33:44 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] ixgbe: feature - driver to default with FC on. In the past flow control wasn't enabled by default under the incorrect assumption that this opened up us to a denial of service attack. However since any switch that forwarded flow control would be extremely msiconfigured and/or buggy, this concern no longer out weighs the preformance gains from having FC enabled.
