Converged Fabric for FCoE

摘要

Network devices, systems, and methods, including program instructions are disclosed which provide a converged fabric for Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). A network device includes a Fiber Channel Controller (FCC), located outside of a lossless Ethernet network. The FCC has a processing resource coupled to a memory. The memory includes program instructions executed by the processing resource to terminate Fiber Channel (FC) Initialization Protocol (FIP) frames, generated to and by initiator and target devices, on the FCC.
