P802.1Qdt – Priority-based Flow Control Enhancements
This amendment specifies procedures and managed objects for automated Priority-based Flow Control (PFC) headroom calculation and Media Access Control Security (MACsec) protection of PFC frames, using point-to-point roundtrip measurement and enhancements to the Data Center Bridging Capability Exchange protocol (DCBX).
This amendment places emphasis on the requirements for low latency and lossless transmission in large-scale and geographically dispersed data centers.
This amendment also addresses errors of the existing IEEE Std 802.1Q functionality.
