This document specifies an architecture and a gateway-to-gateway
protocol for the implementation of fibre channel fabric
functionality over an IP network. This functionality is provided
through TCP protocols for fibre channel frame transport and the
distributed fabric services specified by the fibre channel
standards. The architecture enables internetworking of fibre
channel devices through gateway-accessed regions with the fault
isolation properties of autonomous systems and the scalability of
the IP network.
This document is a product of the IP Storage Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the
"Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution
of this memo is unlimited.
This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list.
Requests to be added to or deleted from the IETF distribution list
