Select 2In an FCoE environment, for which two sets of data must an interface that implements the PAUSE mechanism always provision sufficient ingress buffer? (Choose two.)
Show answer
Answer: BD
Explanation
In case of congestion, the long distance ingress ports sends a pause frame to its peer to pause all data transmission on the link for a specified period of time in order to absorb the in-flight packets. When a pause frame is generated from a switch, it takes time to reach the peer switch. Until the packet reaches to peers all the in-flight packets need to be buffered and should not be dropped.
