Known Issues
- When operating at 1 Gbps or 100 Mbps link speeds, E610 inserts an average of one extra byte between transmitted packets, resulting in throughput slightly below line rate even for large packets. The reduction in throughput is therefore less than 0.1% for packets larger than 1 KB.
- Receive Link Flow Control (Rx LFC) cannot be disabled for 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps link speeds and remains enabled by default. Higher link speeds such as 2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps, and 10 Gbps work as expected.
