Converged network DCB example
A converged data center network carries multiple SAN, server, and LAN traffic types that are sensitive to different aspects
of data transmission. For example, storage traffic is sensitive to packet loss, while server traffic is latency-sensitive. In a
single converged link, all traffic types coexist without imposing restrictions on other performances. DCB allows iSCSI and
FCoE SAN traffic to coexist with server and LAN traffic on the same network. DCB features reduce or avoid dropped frames,
retransmission, and network congestion.
DCB provides lossless transmission of FCoE and iSCSI storage traffic using:
● Separate traffic classes for the different service needs of network applications.
● PFC flow control to pause data transmission and avoid dropping packets during congestion.
● ETS bandwidth allocation to guarantee a percentage of shared bandwidth to bursty traffic, while allowing each traffic class
to exceed its allocated bandwidth if another traffic class is not using its share.
● DCBX discovery of peers, including PFC, ETS, and other DCB settings parameter exchange, mismatch detection, and remote
configuration of DCB parameters.
● iSCSI application protocol TLV information in DCBX advertisements to communicate iSCSI support to peer ports.
This example shows how to configure a DCB converged network in which:
● DCBx is enabled globally to ensure the exchange of DCBx, PFC, ETS, and ISCSI configurations between DCBx-enabled
devices.
● PFC is configured to ensure lossless traffic for dot1p priority 4, 5, 6, and 7 traffic.
● ETS allocates 30% bandwidth for dot1p priority 0, 1, 2, and 3 traffic and 70% bandwidth for priority 4, 5, 6, and 7 traffic.
● iSCSI is configured to use dot1p priority 6 for iSCSI traffic, and advertise priority 6 in iSCSI application TLVs.
1. DCBX configuration (global)
Configure DCBX globally on a switch to enable the exchange of DCBX TLV messages with PFC, ETS, and iSCSI configurations.
