System and method for processing fibre channel (FC) layer service requests in an FC network

摘要

A method for processing a fiber channel (FC) layer service request at a target node of an FC network may include receiving the FC layer service request from an initiator node, extracting a permanent identifier and a temporary identifier from the received FC layer service request, and determining whether a match exists between the extracted temporary identifier and a temporary identifier stored in association with the extracted permanent identifier. A security access device and computer-readable code arrangement may include similar features.
