A related question:

in the ieee802.3(5) man page, we have:

     link_pause          ..


                        if link_asmpause = 1

                        1    The   local   station   will   honor
                             received pause frames by temporarily
                             suspending   transmit   of   further
                             frames.


why is this only Rx pause? shouldn't this be bidirectional? Is
this yet another error in that man page?
