Abstract

Frame wrapping such as Q-in-Q frame wrapping is used to enforce QoS prioritization with a converged or multi-function self-virtualizing IO resource such as a converged SRIOV network adapter. Frame wrapping may be used to avoid conflicting priorities from frames associated with virtual functions for which ACLs are not enforced, and thereby preserve QoS prioritization for lossless traffic classes.
