  10. Frame (cont) Frame Types FC-4 Device Data Extended Link Data FC-4 Link Data Sequence Exchange Video Data Basic Link Data Link Control FC Building Blocks (cont) Exchange Sequence Sequence Sequence Frame Frame Frame Frame Frame Frame

  11. Flow Control Buffer-to-Buffer Credit Link Level End-to-End Credit Transport Level ULP Level Communication Models Full Duplex Half Duplex FC-2 Transport Functions

  12. Classes of Service Class 1 Supports EE Credit Flow Control No BB Credit Flow Control In Order Delivery Guaranteed Guaranteed Max. Bandwidth Between Two Nodes FC-2 Transport Functions (cont)

  13. Classes of Service (cont) Class 2 Referred to as Packet Switched in the Fabric Model Supports EE Credit Flow Control Supports BB Credit Flow Control In Order Delivery Not Guaranteed Allows for Better Use of Fabric Link Bandwidth FC-2 Transport Functions (cont)

  14. Classes of Service (cont) Class 3 No EE Credit Flow Control Supports BB Credit Flow Control Requires ULP Level Flow Control In Order Delivery Not Guaranteed Allows for Better Use of Fabric Link Bandwidth Added Performance Benefit of No ACKs Intermix Unused Class 1 Bandwidth Used for Class 2 and 3 FC-2 Transport Functions (cont)
