Part 3: Multi-Path vs. Multi-Chassis

Event: Brocade Virtual Symposium 2012

Appearance: Brocade Virtual Symposium 2012

Company: Brocade

Personnel: Chip Copper, Chris Marget, Greg Ferro, Ivan Pepelnjak, Josh O'Brien, Tony Bourke

Join a panel of networking heavyweights as they discuss multi-chassis architecture such (Brocade VCS) and contrast it to multi-pathing technology (TRILL). The discussion touches on the following points:

How TRILL fabrics do multi-path and where it really works
What link-state routing protocol to use (Routing Bridges, IS-IS, FSPF)
Is interoperability and standardization (Fabric Path, VCS) a red herring?
An extensive whiteboard demonstration of load balancing across multiple links with aggregation groups – traditional Ethernet LACP/Port Channels per-flow vs. Brocade per-frame link aggregation
Further whiteboard discussion of scalability and standards-compliance of multi-chassis technology

Part 2 of the Virtual Symposium turns to the topic of convergence. The delegates discuss the core questions of convergence:

What’s stopping convergence and what’s driving it?
Who owns responsibility organizationally?
What protocols (Fibre Channel, FCoE, iSCSI, or even NFS) “count”?
Contrasting the financial benefits with the management complexity.
A discussion of other protocols (especially iSCSI) over lossless-Ethernet (DCB)
Comparison of buffer credit mechanisms (as in Fibre Channel) with pause mechanisms (in DCB Ethernet)
Demands on Ethernet hardware design to support converged traffic (less over-subscription, larger buffers, etc)
The heavy demands placed by solid state storage on storage networks
The role of Ethernet fabrics in converged networks
The challenge of ETS (802.1Qaz) and DCBX for storage vendors
Considering the difficulty of implementing congestion notification (802.1Qau) in network hardware
