            Bug ID: 1620
           Summary: Pause Frame Forwarding does not work properly on igb
           Product: DPDK
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: ethdev
          Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
          Reporter: nandinipersad361@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

For igb devices rte_eth_flow_ctrl_set does not work as expected. Pause frames
are always forwarded on igb, regardless of the RFCE, MPMCF and DPF registers.

Implication:
Pause frames will never be rejected by the host on 1G NICs and they will always
be forwarded.

Resolution/Workaround:
There is no workaround available.

Affected Environment/Platform:
All.

Driver/Module:
Poll Mode Driver (PMD).
