Intermix is an enhancement of Class 1 service. A dedicated Class 1
connection may waste fabric bandwidth while frames are not being
transmitted or received between two N_Ports. In order to recover some
of this bandwidth, Intermix allows Class 2 and Class 3 frames to be
transmitted/received between Class 1 frames. N_Ports advertising
Intermix capability must be capable of receiving Class 2 and Class 3
frames from other N_Ports while maintaining the original Class 1 Link.
