Summary:An aggregated link flow control system includes a first networking device having a plurality of peer ports and a second networking device that includes a first port having a first flow control configuration. The first port is coupled to the first networking device via a first peer port of the plurality of peer ports. The second networking device includes a second port having a second flow control configuration. The second port is coupled to the first networking device via a second peer port of the plurality of peer ports. The second networking device groups the first port and the second port as an aggregated link interface. The second networking device determines that the first flow control configuration of the first port is compatible with a third flow control configuration of the first peer port and, in response, provides a data flow for the aggregated link interface through the first port.
