Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS) provides a method for allocating link bandwidth 
based on the 802.1p priority value in each packet’s VLAN tag. Using ETS, different types 
of traffic (such as LAN, SAN, and management) that are sensitive to different handling 
criteria can be configured either for specific bandwidth characteristics, low-latency, or 
best-effort transmission, despite sharing converged links as in an FCoE environment.

Data Center Bridging Capability Exchange Protocol (DCBX) allows neighboring network 
devices to exchange information about their capabilities. This is used between 
CEE-capable devices for the purpose of discovering their peers, negotiating peer 
configurations, and detecting misconfigurations.
