Fibre Channel Protocols And Layered Models

Fibre Channel is a technical standard that is the generic name for a set of integrated standards jointly developed by several committees commissioned by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), a high-performance interface standard. It is independent of the medium and supports the simultaneous transmission of a variety of different protocols, such as IPI, IP, FICON, FCP (SCSI) and other protocols, and is suitable for bidirectional, Serial data communication. Just as protocols such as IP, NetBIOS, and SNA can be used simultaneously on a single Ethernet adapter in Ethernet because all of these protocols are mapped in Ethernet, communication protocols of various network layers can also be mapped by protocol Implemented over Fibre Channel.
