What are you going to do? Flow-control (-> slow down 19 other ports) or drop?
The answer to this depends on the application. If you're running regular IP then yes, drop a few packets. No-one will care too much.
FCoE is a different matter and dropped packets are an extremely serious problem, and in this case it would seem more useful to exercise flow control and stuff up the transfers of a bunch of other clients in order not to drop anything for the one.
FCoE is not IP. Don't confuse them. Nick _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
