okay, but I'm not. seriously, if you'll look into it.
Did you misread where I said FC can exert back-pressure? I was
contrasting with Ethernet.
You're really confused, though I'm sure you're going to deny it.
I don't think so. I think that it is time to reset and reboot
yourself on the technology curve. FC semantics have been ported onto
ethernet. This is not your grandmother's ethernet but it is capable
of supporting both FCoE and normal IP traffic. The FCoE gets
per-stream QOS similar to what you are used to from Fibre Channel.
Quite naturally, you get to pay a lot more for the new equipment and
you have the opportunity to discard the equipment you bought already.
Richard is not out in the weeds although there are probably plenty of
weeds growing at the ranch.
