Existing benchmarking methodologies are based on the assumption that
networking devices will impartially drop network traffic at their
performance limits.  Data Center Bridging (DCB) devices, however,
will attempt to throttle prioritized traffic from network endpoints
before those limits are reached in order to minimize the probability
of frame loss for high value traffic.  Hence, existing methodologies
based around indiscriminate 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.
