Re: Revised Fibre-Channel over SCTP/IP

["Murali Rajagopal" <muralir@lightsand.com>]

All:

A clarification is in order:

Note that the IPS WG still has not chosen (by rough consensus) which method
to encapsulate FC. Currently, there are two proposals on the table: IP and
SCTP. Soon,
there will a third one using TCP.

I beleive that at the San Diego metting (December), we will know.
