2. Fibre Channel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibre_Channel

   Fibre Channel started in 1988, with ANSI standard approval in 1994, to merge the benefits of multiple physical layer implementations including SCSI, HIPPI and ESCON. Fibre Channel was designed as a serial interface to overcome limitations of the SCSI and HIPPI physical-layer parallel-signal copper wire interfaces. Such interfaces face the ...

3. Fibre Channel Protocol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibre_Channel_Protocol

   Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) is the SCSI interface protocol utilising an underlying Fibre Channel connection. The Fibre Channel standards define a high-speed data transfer mechanism that can be used to connect workstations, mainframes, supercomputers, storage devices and displays. FCP addresses the need for very fast transfers of large volumes ...

4. Fibre Channel network protocols - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibre_Channel_network...

   All Fibre Channel communication is done in units of four 10-bit codes. This group of 4 codes is called a transmission word . An ordered set is a transmission word that includes some combination of control (K) codes and data (D) codes .

5. Fibre Channel over Ethernet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibre_Channel_over_Ethernet

   Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) is a computer network technology that encapsulates Fibre Channel frames over Ethernet networks. This allows Fibre Channel to use 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks (or higher speeds) while preserving the Fibre Channel protocol.

6. Storage area network - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_area_network

   Fibre Channel is a layered technology that starts at the physical layer and progresses through the protocols to the upper-level protocols like SCSI and SBCCS. The serialized Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) protocol is often used on top of the Fibre Channel switched fabric protocol in servers and SAN storage devices.

7. Internet Fibre Channel Protocol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Fibre_Channel...

   Internet Fibre Channel Protocol (iFCP) is a gateway-to-gateway network protocol standard that provides Fibre Channel fabric functionality to Fibre Channel devices over an IP network. It is officially ratified by the Internet Engineering Task Force. Its most common forms are in 1 Gbit/s, 2 Gbit/s, 4 Gbit/s, 8 Gbit/s, and 10 Gbit/s, a shortened ...

8. Fibre Channel switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibre_Channel_switch

   The fabric is a network of Fibre Channel devices which allows many-to-many communication, device name lookup, security, and redundancy. FC switches implement zoning, a mechanism that disables unwanted traffic between certain fabric nodes. Fibre Channel switches may be deployed one at a time or in larger multi-switch configurations.

9. Fibre Channel electrical interface - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibre_Channel_electrical...

   The Fibre Channel electrical interface is one of two related Fibre Channel standards that can be used to physically interconnect computer devices. The other standard is a Fibre Channel optical interface , which is not covered in this article.
