config [31mCONFIG_DCB[0m bool "Data Center Bridging support" default n ---help--- This enables support for configuring Data Center Bridging ([31mCONFIG_DCB[0m) features on [31mCONFIG_DCB[0m capable Ethernet adapters via rtnetlink. Say 'Y' if you have a [31mCONFIG_DCB[0m capable Ethernet adapter which supports this interface and you are connected to a [31mCONFIG_DCB[0m capable switch. [31mCONFIG_DCB[0m is a collection of Ethernet enhancements which allow [31mCONFIG_DCB[0m capable NICs and switches to support network traffic with differing requirements (highly reliable, no drops vs. best effort vs. low latency) to co-exist on Ethernet. [31mCONFIG_DCB[0m features include: Enhanced Transmission Selection (aka Priority Grouping) - provides a framework for assigning bandwidth guarantees to traffic classes. Priority-based Flow Control (PFC) - a [31mCONFIG_MAC[0m control pause frame which works at the granularity of the 802.1p priority instead of the link (802.3x). If unsure, say N. |
