Or - The emergence of standards-based lossless Ethernet (DCB) was the precipitating factor that allowed us for the first time to talk about running the IB message transport on what had formerly been a lossy network.
That said, there is a distinction to be made between 'works better' and 'is required in order to work'. Again, I don't think there is an argument to be made for REQUIRING the use of DCB as a prerequisite to RoCEE.
