Yes, it will be interesting to know how to proceed with it. For example
KSZ switch do count pause frame Bytes together will other frames. At
same time, atheros switch do not count pause frame bytes at all.

To make things worse, i can manually send pause frame of any size, so it
will not be accounted by HW. What ever decision we will made, i will
need to calculate typical pause frame size and hope it will fit for 90%
of cases.
