## Description

The NMSettingDcb object is a NMSetting subclass that describes properties for enabling and using Data Center Bridging (DCB) on Ethernet networks. DCB is a set of protocols (including 802.1Qbb, 802.1Qaz, 802.1Qau, and 802.1AB) to eliminate packet loss in Ethernet networks and support the use of storage technologies like Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and iSCSI.
