Footnote 1: Normally an ISL port with PFC is supported for 200m distance on eAnvil-based
platforms. The long-distance-isl command extends that support up to a distance of
10 km, including 2 Km and 5 Km options. For a 10 Km ISL link, no other ISL links are
allowed on the same ASIC. For 5 Km and 2 Km ISL links, another short distance ISL link
can be configured. A maximum of 3 PFCs (per priority flow control) can be supported on a
long distance ISL port.

The Deficit Weighted Round Robin (DWRR) algorithm is used to schedule packets from the
transmit queues. If a queue uses excess bandwidth, the DWRR algorithm keeps track of
this excess usage and subtracts it from the queues next transmission bandwidth
allocation. This results in a fairer use of bandwidth over time.

Footnote 1: The hash algorithm can be changed using the fabric ecmp loadbalance command. For more information see the .Network OS Administrators Guide
Supporting Network OS v4.0.0 manual.
