--------------
1. Problem (CQ#8499)
4401: Rx Symbol Error when connected to Fujitsu LH 1108C HUB during
file transfers resulting into low performance throughput.
Cause:
The 4401 PHY hardware reports RX Symbol Errors due to collisions.
These RX Symbol Errors can be ignored because the CRC Check is the
ultimate decision maker if a packet should be dropped or not.
This can be considered a software workaround to remedy operations with
particular HUBs that are not compliant to IEEE Specifications.
Change:
A Registry key has been created for accepting packets that have been flagged
by PHY hardware with RX Symbol Error condition. The default behavior is to implement
this Software workaround.
Impact:
Correct CQ#8499 issue.
