The Data Center Bridging (DCB) Task Group (TG) is a part of the IEEE 802.1 Working Group. For general information, please refer to the 802.1 home page.
The charter of the DCB TG is to provide enhancements to existing 802.1 bridge specifications to satisfy the requirements of protocols and applications in the data center. Existing high-performance data centers typically comprise multiple application-specific networks that run on different link layer technologies; e.g. Fibre Channel for storage, InfiniBand for high-performance computing, Ethernet for network management and LAN connectivity. The specifications from this TG will enable 802.1 bridges to be used for the deployment of a converged network where all applications can be run over a single physical infrastructure.
Additionally, the DCB TG is working to address the impact of server virtualization technology through specifications for Edge Virtual Bridging (EVB) and Port Extenders.
In addition to the the regular 802.1 plenary and interim meetings, there are weekly conference calls pre-authorized by the working group to discuss specific topics.
Participants are required to review the IEEE patent policy prior to the meetings. If you have any questions, please contact Pat Thaler, the DCB TG chair.
