Testing Challenges in DCB and FCoE
Now Available on Demand
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) technology maps the impeccable advantages of Fibre Channel on performance, security, and effectiveness in terms of storage transportation onto Ethernet network. As such, FCoE requires also elevated enhancements (Data Center Bridging (DCB) protocols) on the conventional Ethernet to be more competent for critical data exchanges. The presentation will discuss from the testing perspectives, the challenges brought by this new technology, in particular, how the testing methodologies differ from LAN based Ethernet testing to SAN focused testing in converged Ethernet environments . The presentation will also present the the proof-of-concept test setup to demonstrate FCoE and DCB technologies and compare the performance differences with discrete networks.
