Lossless Ethernet

This guide provides HPE Aruba Networking data center bridging (DCB) and lossless Ethernet guidance for HPE Aruba Networking data center switches. Lossless Ethernet provides high reliability and performance for storage, big data, and AI applications.

Both of them should consider essential features of lossless Ethernet and work harmoniously together to realize high-performance congestion control. Therefore, we ask this question: can we take a step back and rethink con-gestion control for lossless Ethernet by taking full advantage of its intrinsic properties?

Lossless Ethernet Knowledge Base
Lossless Ethernet is the operational practice of running Ethernet such that packets are essentially never dropped — required for RoCEv2 and other RDMA-over- Ethernet protocols to perform.
While the modern data center still contains a mixture of different application-specific networks and protocols, various types of Ethernet have emerged as the preferred approach for many data networking problems. With the addition of new industry standard extensions that permit lossless transmission, converged enhanced Ethernet (also known as lossless Ethernet ) is now widely available. New ...

Key Details About Lossless Ethernet
Congestion control is a key enabler for lossless Ethernet at scale. In this paper, we revisit this classic topic from a new perspective, i.e., understanding and exploiting the intrinsic properties of the underlying lossless network. We experimentally and analytically find that the intrinsic properties of lossless networks, such as packet conservation, can indeed provide valuable implications ...
