Abstract:

This amendment specifies protocols, procedures and managed objects that support congestion management of long-lived data flows within network domains of limited bandwidth-delay product. This is achieved by enabling bridges to signal congestion to end stations capable of transmission rate limiting to avoid frame loss.
Scope:
This standard specifies protocols, procedures, and managed objects to support congestion notification. These allow a Virtual Bridged Local Area Network or a portion thereof, with a limited bandwidth-delay product, to transfer long-lived data flows with a significantly reduced chance of frame loss compared to a network without congestion notification. To this end, it aa) Defines a means for VLAN-aware Bridges that support congestion notification to form Congestion Managed Domains within a Virtual Bridged LAN. ab) Defines a means for detecting congested queues in end stations and VLAN-aware Bridges, for signaling such congestion to the end stations sourcing the frames causing the congestion, and for those end stations to control the rate of transmission of those frames.
