All components (that is, devices) in a Fibre Channel network use ports as connections to the network. The ports in the Fibre Channel network include the following basic types: N-po

Flow control is a mechanism defined in the service level, which is divided into end-to-end flow control and buffer-to-buffer flow control. (1) End-to-end flow control is that the r

There are two types of port addresses in a fiber optic network: fixed addresses and dynamic addresses. ① Fixed address: Each Fibre Channel identifiable device has a fixed Fibre Cha

The basic elements of network names and addresses in a fiber optic network are as follows: global name, port address, arbitrated ring physical address, simple name server. (1) Glob

The physical layer of a Fibre Channel network consists of the following three basic physical units: (1) Port: an interface used to connect a server system and a fiber optic switch,

① Small Computer System Interface (SCSI), that is, the mapping of the SCSI-3 protocol of the Fibre Path Protocol (FCP), is the main protocol mapped to the Fibre Path. ② IP protocol
