Title : mFCP - Metro FCP protocol for IP Networking Author(s) : R. Mullendore, C. Monia, J. Tseng Filename : draft-monia-ips-mfcp-00.txt Pages : 36 Date : 06-Nov-00 This document describes the mFCP protocol, which transports the Fibre Channel Protocol for SCSI (FCP) over metro- and local-scale IP networks that demonstrate comparable latency, reliability, and performance levels to that of a Fibre Channel network. Most existing storage devices use the FCP protocol for data transport and error recovery. mFCP leverages these existing mechanisms to facilitate high-performance interconnection of Fibre Channel-based storage devices over private IP networks. All FCP mechanisms are transported natively over IP between Fibre Channel and SCSI storage devices. A URL for this Internet-Draft is: <http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-monia-ips-mfcp-00.txt> Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-monia-ips-mfcp-00.txt". A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in <http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html> or <ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt> Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-monia-ips-mfcp-00.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft. <ftp://ftp.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-monia-ips-mfcp-00.txt> <ftp://ftp.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-monia-ips-mfcp-00.txt> Content-type: text/plain
