Abstract:
1. A method for improved delivery of data over Ethernet implementing Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), the method comprising: designate data to be transmitted over an Ethernet connection as one of low latency data and standard data; indicating that a FCoE device supports transmission of the low latency data using a type length value (TLV) of a data center bridging capability exchange protocol (DCBX) as of Aug. 10, 2010; transmitting the low latency data; indicating that the low latency data being transmitted is low latency data using TLV priority detecting one or more delays in the transmission of the low latency data caused by the standard data; and issuing command to stop a port from sending frames to the Ethernet in response to detecting the one or more delays.
