Configuring Enhanced Transmission Selection

ETS provides a way to optimize bandwidth allocation to outbound 802.1p classes of converged Ethernet traffic.

Different traffic types have different service needs. Using ETS, you can create groups within an 802.1p priority class to configure different treatment for traffic with different bandwidth, latency, and best-effort needs.
For example, storage traffic is sensitive to frame loss; interprocess communication (IPC) traffic is latency-sensitive. ETS allows different traffic types to coexist without interruption in the same converged link by:
  • Allocating a guaranteed share of bandwidth to each priority group.
  • Allowing each group to exceed its minimum guaranteed bandwidth if another group is not fully using its allotted bandwidth.

To configure ETS and apply an ETS dcb-map to an interface, you must follow the steps described in Configuring Priority-Based Flow Control .
