About FCC

The FCC protocol increases the granularity and the scale of congestion control applied to any class of
traffic (see
OL-18084-01, Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 4.x
Provides relative bandwidth guarantee to application traffic.
Controls latency experienced by application traffic.
Prioritizes one application over another (for example, prioritizing transactional traffic over bulk
traffic) through bandwidth and latency differentiation.
