Each PCIe device can issue up to 32 transactions at a time by default. Each transaction is tracked by a tag number on the bus. 32 outstanding transactions is not enough for some performance critical applications especially when a lot of small sized frames are transmitted.
Extended tags support increases this number to 256. Devices not supporting extended tags tie-off this field to 0. According to ECN, it is safe to enable this feature for all PCIe endpoints.
