- config DCB
- bool "Data Center Bridging support"
- default n
- ---help---
- This enables support for configuring Data Center Bridging (DCB)
- features on DCB capable Ethernet adapters via rtnetlink. Say 'Y'
- if you have a DCB capable Ethernet adapter which supports this
- interface and you are connected to a DCB capable switch.
- DCB is a collection of Ethernet enhancements which allow DCB 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.
- DCB features include:
- Enhanced Transmission Selection (aka Priority Grouping) - provides a
- framework for assigning bandwidth guarantees to traffic classes.
- Priority-based Flow Control (PFC) - a MAC control pause frame which
- works at the granularity of the 802.1p priority instead of the
- link (802.3x).
- If unsure, say N.
