Convergent Enhanced Ethernet

Hi. I guess this my dummy question is for super-gurus.
I'm on Red Hat' documentation regarding their RDMA capabilities over "convergent" Ethernet network. I read everything that I could find on inet, wikipedia etc. about the technology itself. I can't figure out, how can I determine if the network is "convergent" or it isn't? I realize that it may be not directly discoverable from within a standalone host, but what it involves to figure it out?

NAME
ethers - Database that maps Ethernet addresses to hostnames DESCRIPTION
The /etc/ethers file is used in conjunction with the reverse address resolution protocol daemon (rarpd) to map Ethernet addresses to host- names. It contains information about the known (48-bit) Ethernet addresses of hosts on the Internet. For each host on an Ethernet, a single line should be present in the file with the following information: Ethernet-address official-host-name Items are separated by one or more spaces or tabs. A number sign (#) indicates the beginning of a comment that extends to the end of line. The standard form for Ethernet addresses is: x:x:x:x:x:x The x is a hexadecimal number between 0 and ff, representing 1 byte. The address bytes are always in network order. Hostnames can contain any printable character other than a space, tab, newline, or number sign (#). Hostnames in the /etc/ethers file should correspond to the hostnames in the /etc/hosts file or to those provided by the name service. EXAMPLES
The following is a sample ethers file: 08:00:20:01:e5:1c host1 # Comments go here 08:00:20:01:d0:4c host2 # Comments go here 08:00:20:01:e0:1d host3 # Comments go here 08:00:20:00:c2:4e host4 # Comments go here RELATED INFORMATION
Commands: rarpd(8) Files: hosts(4), packetfilter(7) Routines: ethers(3) delim off ethers(4)
