Title : Benchmarking Methodology for Data Center Bridging Devices

Existing benchmarking methodologies are based on the assumption that
networking devices will drop network traffic at their performance
limits. Data Center Bridging (DCB) devices, however, will attempt to
throttle network endpoints before those limits are reached in order
to minimize the probability of frame loss in the network. Hence,
existing methodologies based around frame loss are inappropriate for
DCB devices. This document takes the basic benchmarking ideas based
on loss and extends them to support "lossless" Ethernet devices.
