  12. Classes of Service Class 1 Supports EE Credit Flow Control No BB Credit Flow Control In Order Delivery Guaranteed Guaranteed Max. Bandwidth Between Two Nodes FC-2 Transport Functions (cont)

  13. Classes of Service (cont) Class 2 Referred to as Packet Switched in the Fabric Model Supports EE Credit Flow Control Supports BB Credit Flow Control In Order Delivery Not Guaranteed Allows for Better Use of Fabric Link Bandwidth FC-2 Transport Functions (cont)

  14. Classes of Service (cont) Class 3 No EE Credit Flow Control Supports BB Credit Flow Control Requires ULP Level Flow Control In Order Delivery Not Guaranteed Allows for Better Use of Fabric Link Bandwidth Added Performance Benefit of No ACKs Intermix Unused Class 1 Bandwidth Used for Class 2 and 3 FC-2 Transport Functions (cont)
