Add option to enable flow control and pause metering 6.4.3
Pause metering allows the FortiSwitch to apply flow control to ingress traffic when the queue is congested, and to resume once it is cleared. In FortiOS, flow control and pause metering can be configured in the switch-controller managed-switch
settings.
