Buffer credit recovery
22
This feature is only supported on E_Ports that are configured for long distance and are connected
between the following switch or blade models:
• Brocade 300, 5100, 5300, 5410, 5424, 5450, 5480, 6510, VA-40FC
• FC8-16, FC8-32, FC8-48, FC16-32, FC16-48
If a long-distance E_Port from one of these supported switches or blades is connected to any other
switch or blade type, the buffer credit recovery feature is disabled.
VE_Ports and VEX_Ports do not support the portCfgFportBuffers or portCfgLongDistance
commands. The buffer credit recovery feature is enabled for the following flow control modes:
Normal, Virtual Channel (VC), and Extended VC modes.
An FC_Port that supports BB_Credit recovery maintains the following BB_Credit recovery values:
• BB_SC_N is the log2 of BB_Credit recovery modules.
• BB_RDY_N counts the number of R_RDY primitives received modulo 2BB_SC_N.
• BB_FRM_N counts the number of frames received modulo 2BB_SC_N.
