DLS is set - DLS is enabled without the Lossless feature. Load sharing is reconfigured with every
change in the fabric, and existing routes can be moved to maintain optimal balance. No attempt is
made to prevent frames from being lost while load sharing is recomputed.
DLS is not set - DLS is disabled. Existing routes are never moved to maintain optimal balance. If
the Lossless option was enabled before you disabled DLS, it is now disabled as well. This means,
frame loss is not prevented during a load sharing recomputation.
DLS is set with Lossless enabled - DLS is enabled with the Lossless feature. Load sharing is
recomputed with every change in the fabric, and existing routes can be moved to maintain optimal
balance. In Lossless mode, no framers are lost during this operation.
