    RE: questions about fcip



    
    
    Question 1:  Why would a FCIP link need multiple TCP connections?
    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.

    FCIP gurus:
    
    The FCIP protocol allows one FCIP link have multiple TCP connection. I have
    two questions about this:
    
    1. Why would a FCIP link need multiple TCP connections?
    2. If there are multiple TCP connections in a FCIP link, which entity is
    responsible for distributing  traffic among them.
