Multi-Level iSCSI QoS for Target Differentiated Data in DCB Networks

摘要

In an embodiment, a method can include setting metadata of a first data packet to have a first priority level based on a first internal classifier of the first data packet and setting metadata of a second data packet to have a second priority level based on a second internal classifier of the second data packet. The first data packet and second data packet can be of the same traffic type (e.g., iSCSI). The method can further include sub-classifying (e.g., the same traffic type), based on the first and second priority levels, to direct the first data packet into a first data channel and second data packet into a second data channel for the same traffic type.

1. A method comprising:
setting metadata of a first data packet to have a first priority level based on a first internal classifier of the first data packet and metadata of a second data packet to have a second priority level based on a second internal classifier of the first data packet, the first data packet and second data packet being of the same traffic type; and sub-classifying, based on the first priority level and second priority level, to direct the first data packet into a first data channel and second data packet into a second data channel.
