Each individual domain must be managed as a separate entity. Such designs can be fairly complex, requiring expertise in IP routing to set up and manage the network, and presenting complications with multicast domains. , if all the servers attached to a leaf switch boot up at once, the switch’s ability to process Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) relay requests will be a bottleneck in overall performance). In a Layer 3 design, the size of the ARP table supported by the switches can become a limiting factor in scaling the design, even if the media access control (MAC) address tables are quite large.
Classic Ethernet allows only a single logical path between switches, which must be manually configured in the case of LAGs. As the fabric scales and new switches are added, it becomes increasingly more complex to manually configure multiple LAG connections. Ethernet fabrics overcome this limitation by automatically detecting when a new switch is added, and learning about all other switches and devices connected to the fabric. Logical ISLs can be formed which consist of multiple physical links (sometimes called VLAN aggregation or trunking) to provide sufficient bandwidth.
Data frames can be dropped or delivered out of order during normal operation (this is handled by upper layer protocols such as TCP/IP). In an effort to improve the performance of Ethernet, the IEEE has developed a new standard known as Lossless Ethernet or Data Center Bridging (DCB). Historically, this work grew out of a series of proposals made by a consortium called the Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) Author’s Group; for this reason, the resulting standard is also sometimes known as CEE. There are three key components which are required to implement lossless Ethernet, namely Priority-based Flow Control (PFC), Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS), and Data Center Bridging Exchange protocol (DCBx).
