6.6.3.3 Advanced Bridge Component Facet

Table 36 describes the details of the Advanced Bridge Component Facet.

This Facet builds on the Base Bridge Component Facet and adds requirements for implementing more advanced network infrastructure capabilities. In particular, it requires time synchronization, mechanisms for network boundary protection, expedited traffic for real-time applications (preemption), and engineered loop prevention. It also introduces minimum quantities for queues, preemption fragment size, and egress buffer size.
