The SOF and EOF codes listed in the FCIP
draft-ietf-ips-fcovertcpip-00.txt Annex A was derived from the FC-BB T11
document. A FC-BBW device would normally only use a subset of these codes.
This short list is identified in the FC-BB document and listed
below:
0x28 SOFf
0x2D SOFi2
0x35 SOFn2
0x2E SOFi3
0x36 SOFn3
0x41
EOFn
0x42 EOFt
0x49 EOFni
0x50 EOFa
There are implementations today that only make use of this
subset. Given the similarity of the FC-BBW device and the FCIP device, it
does appear that the above subset is adequate.
However, I would like to see if there is a strong requirement
to specify the complete set or only the above partial subset. The complete set
for example would also support Class 1 codes (SOFc1, SOFi1, SOFn1,
etc.).
Please echo your comments to the reflector.
