[c-nsp] PAUSE vs PFC for loss-less traffic?

2014-03-09 Thread Mathias Sundman
There is a lot of talk about how PFC makes Ethernet loss-less and suitable for FCoE or ISCSI. My question is, for single-type-of-traffic interfaces, for example ISCSI arrays connected to a Ethernet switch. Why doesn't traditional PAUSE based flow control give the same level of loss-less

The BGP session went down, and stayed down for about 3 min, as if there was a problem for TCP to establish a session back on. It happened during DDOS, before and after that this session never dropped. There's nothing in logs except that notification was sent since the hold timer expired. BGP is

Hi NSP, Is anyone familiar with the 3800X and why we are unable to configure EIGRP for IPv6 even though its clearly stated in the configuration guide as available?

Hi Sander, Thanks for the reply, that was our first thought as well... we tried, but only the default sdm template was available to us. I've just had a scan through the datasheet and noticed this; Switch Database Management (SDM) templates (with the Scalability license only) This is a £3000+
