About Extended Link Buffer Allocation
8
• Buffer Needed/Allocated
The number of buffers needed and the number of buffers that are actually allocated.
• Actual Distance (km)
The actual distance, in kilometers, for the link.
• Desired Distance (km)
Required for a port configured in LD mode (see Table 8-1 on page 8-3), the desired distance, in
kilometers, for the link. This value is the upper limit for calculating buffer availability for the port.
If the measured distance is more than the specified desired distance, the port is allocated the
number of buffers required by the specified desired distance.
• Long Distance
Table 8-1 describes the long-distance settings and identifies which settings require a Brocade
