| Description: | The Fibre Channel Backbone (FC-BB) standard describes how Fibre Channel networks may be extended over varying geographical distances using the ATM and SONET WAN protocols. This environment is limited to point-to-point configurations and lacks management support for heterogeneous networks. There is a need to standardize additional configurations and protocols not addressed by the Fibre Channel Backbone standard which allow the extension of Fibre Channel networks over varying geographical distances. This will address geographical expansion of Storage Area Networks (SAN ), and facilitate the growth of new applications such as Content Distribution and new transport protocols. This new standard will address flow control, performance, timers, and management functions associated with these new configurations and protocols. In addition, this standard will address any link characteristics related to the e new configurations and protocols. Example configurations and/or protocols include: (1) Native FC over SONET (OC-192c/SDH VC-4-64c); (2) Native WAN - Dark Fibre; (3) Point to Multi-Point Configurations; (4) Fibre Channel Over IP Networks - Behavior and operational characteristics associated with the FC over IP environment; (5) Enhanced Management - Support for the Management Frameworks associated with hetergeneous network environments; (6) Additional requirements discovered in the development of this standard. | |
