Exam HPE0-V27 topic 1 question 52 discussion

DCBX—The data center bridging exchange (DCBX) protocol communicates key parameters between DCB-capable devices. The information exchanged largely centers on PFC, APP, and ETS functionality PFC— Priority-based flow control (PFC) helps to ensure that an Ethernet can provide the lossless frame delivery required for FCoE and recommended for iSCSI APP— Application Type, Length, and Value of DCBX (APP) provides instructions to CNA about application-to-Class of Service (CoS) mapping ETS—Enhanced transmission selection (ETS) enables control over how much bandwidth (LAN, SAN, and other traffic types) can be used over a converged Ethernet link

Priority-based Flow Control (PFC): Description: Prevents packet loss by enabling link-level flow control per traffic class. Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS): Description: Manages bandwidth allocation among different traffic classes, ensuring minimum bandwidth guarantees and dynamic reallocation. Data Center Bridging Exchange Protocol (DCBX): Description: Allows DCB-capable devices to negotiate and exchange configuration information to ensure correct setup of DCB features. Quantized Congestion Notification (QCN): Description: Provides end-to-end congestion notification to mitigate network congestion by notifying the source device to reduce its transmission rate.
