Converged Enhanced Ethernet
Priority-Based Flow Control (PFC) (IEEE 802.1Qbb) extends 802.3x standard flow control to allow the
switch to pause traffic based on the 802.1p priority value in each packet's VLAN tag.
Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS) (IEEE 802.1Qaz) provides a method for allocating link
bandwidth based on the 802.1p priority value in each packet's VLAN tag.
Data Center Bridging Capability Exchange Protocol (DCBX) (IEEE 802.1AB) allows neighboring network
devices to exchange information about their capabilities.
