HP ProCurve Series 6120 Blade Switches Advanced Traffic Management Guide

6-5
Converged Enhanced Ethernet on the HP ProCurve 6120XG Switch
CEE Network Example
QoS Quality of Service—Manages the bandwidth and priority scheme so the net-
work can deliver expected traffic loads and forward packets in the expected
order of priority.
TG Traffic Class Group—a grouping that contains 802.1p priorities. The traffic
group is mapped to a switch port egress queue and has the attributes TGID,
lossless, and priorities.
TGID Traffic class Group Identifier—Identifier for a Traffic Group. Exchanged by
peers in DCBX TLVs only.
TLV Type, Length, Value—Describes a field within a number of protocols in which
value is preceded by a unique type, along with length.
CEE Network Example
The figure below illustrates an example network configuration for CEE. The
Fibre Channel network requires an uplink Fibre Channel Forwarder (FCF)
switch between the HP ProCurve 6120XG switch and the network. Only one
hop is allowed between the CNA and the FCF switch. The Converged Network
Adapter (CNA) sends both Ethernet and Fibre Channel traffic over the FCoE
connection.
