ABSTRACT:
A method of reducing a transmission rate includes determining whether a pause has been received. Whether a maximum of an inter-frame spacing (IFS) has been reached is determined if the pause has been received. The inter-frame spacing is increased by a value if the maximum of the inter-frame spacing has not been reached.
