HP MP Extension Blade
Advanced Upgrade
Optional software license for the MP Extension Blade and Enhanced MP Extension Blade which enables two
advanced extension features: FCIP Trunking and Adaptive Rate Limiting.
FCIP Trunking:
FCIP Trunking feature allows multiple IP source and destination address pairs (defined as FCIP circuits) via
multiple of the 1 GE and 10 GE interfaces to provide high bandwidth FCIP tunnel and failover resiliency. In
addition, each FCIP circuit supports four QoS classes (Class-F, Hi, Medium and Low Priority), each as a TCP
connection.
Adaptive Rate Limiting:
An FCIP tunnel can be configured a minimum (guaranteed) committed rate as well as a maximum
committed rate. FCIP tunnel will run at least the minimum rate. If additional bandwidth is needed, the
committed rate will grow until the channel traffic demand is satisfied, maximum committed rate is
reached, or the throughput capabilities of the network are reached.
NOTE:
Supported for the MP Extension Blade (AP865A, AP865B) and Enhanced MP Extension Blade
(C8R46A) for the SN8000B and DC SAN Directors.
