Advanced Extension • Enables two advanced extension features: FCIP Trunking and
Adaptive Rate Limiting.
• FCIP Trunking feature allows all of the following:
- Multiple (up to 4) IP source and destination address pairs
(defined as FCIP Circuits) using multiple (up to 4) 1-GbE or
10-GbE interfaces to provide a high bandwidth FCIP tunnel
and failover resiliency.
- Support for up to 4 of the following QoS classes: Class-F,
high, medium and low priority, each as a TCP connection.
• The Adaptive Rate Limiting feature provides a minimum
bandwidth guarantee for each tunnel with full usage of available
network bandwidth without any negative impact to throughput
performance under high traffic load.
• Available on the Brocade 7800 switch, and the Brocade DCX and
DCX-4S and the Brocade DCX 8510 family for the FX8-24 on an
individual slot basis.
