Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Define Drop Congestion Notification (DCN) for all devices in the network using DCN. DCN is a congestion management technique based on packet trimming. Rather than drop a packet when congestion occurs, the device trims the packet’s payload, resulting in a smaller packet. The device then transmits this smaller packet through a high-priority queue toward its destination. Subsequent hops in the network must recognize DCN-drop marked packets and direct them to high-priority queues as well. End hosts must process the trimmed DCN packets, identify the packets dropped due to congestion, and request retransmission of those lost packets.

Options

forwarding-class

Forwarding class for DCN-marked packets. This forwarding class should map to a strict-high priority queue, ideally used only for DCN-marked packet delivery. This better ensures delivery of DCN-marked packets to the receiver host.

udp-port

DCN protocol number, which is a unique L4 UDP port number in the network. Devices in the network use this to identify DCN-marked packets and assign those packets to the defined forwarding class.
