+Flow control is a key part of keeping your 1 Gigabit and faster network running smoothly.  Somewhere along the line some websites started telling people to turn off flow control so their network would go faster.  In the short term this might be fine;
+in the long term you’re going to see bigger problems and probably drop more packets than you’ll make up by being able to send as needed. The problem people would say is that  Flow Control stops the traffic, and this costs performance.  Absolutely it stops traffic.  But it stops the traffic the receiver doesn’t have room for!
+The flow control is like a stop light controlling access to the highway.  Instead of letting them all in at once, when there is no room for them and gumming up the works even further, flow control gives protection to the receiver.  This protection allows for long term speed and less dropped packets.
