Following text extracted from Section 11.1 provides some motivations for multiple TCP connections. " .... Depending on the sophistication of the FC Entity, further value may be obtained by having multiple TCP Connections with differing QoS characteristics. There are many reasons why an FC Entity might request creation of multiple TCP Connections within an FCIP_LEP. These reasons include a desire to provide differentiated service for different TCP data connections between FCIP_LEPs or a preference to separately queue different streams of traffic not having a common in-order delivery requirement. ...." Question 2. If there are multiple TCP connections in a FCIP link, which entity is responsible for distributing traffic among them? The FCIP Entity. -----Original Message----- From: owner-ips@ece.cmu.edu [mailto:owner-ips@ece.cmu.edu]On Behalf Of Chong Peng Sent: Sunday, August 04, 2002 4:02 PM To: ips@ece.cmu.edu Subject: questions about fcip FCIP gurus: The FCIP protocol allows one FCIP link have multiple TCP connection.
