I checked RX descriptor status and TX descriptor status and ethtool output.
However I don't know about pause packet/frame, how do I check if pause
frames are properly negotiated on both sides?
I need to try changing pause and FIFO thresholds.
ethtool output after disconnection is as follows:
# ethtool -S eth0
