Abstract
Storage Area Networks (SANs) have become commonplace
in today’s organizations due to the manifold increase
in the data storage requirements of organizations worldwide.
Fibre Channel is the prominent technology used in the
storage market. The major limitation of the Fibre Channel
technology is the short distance covered by the Fibre
media. This has led to SANs evolving as independent
entities separated from each other. Fibre Channel over
TCP/IP has been designed to overcome this limitation.
Fibre Channel over TCP/IP enables us to connect the
SANs by encapsulating FC frames and transferring them
over an IP network. This paper describes our implementation
of Fibre Channel over TCP/IP on Linux.
