<p>There is provided a fibre channel fabric including (a) a fibre channel interface controller (10) for communicating with a termination node or another fibre channel fabric to control a fibre channel in protocol, (b) an input data buffer (20) for temporarily storing a frame received from the termination node or the other fibre channel fabric, (c) a cell producer (40) for dividing the frame received into fixed length cells, (d) a cell switch (60) for interchanging data at the unit of a fixed length cell, (e) a frame constructor (50) for reconstructing an original frame of the fixed length cells transmitted from the cell switch (60), (f) an output data buffer (30) for temporarily storing a frame transmitted from the frame constructor (50), and (g) a congestion controller (70) for monitoring a load of the cell switch (60) to thereby avoid congestion.</p> |
