IPFC stands for Internet Protocol over Fibre Channel. It governs a set of standards created in January 2006 for address resolution and transmitting IPv4 and IPv6 network packets over a Fibre Channel (FC) network. [1] IPFC makes up part of the FC-4 protocol-mapping layer of a Fibre Channel system. [2]
Internet Fibre Channel Protocol (iFCP) is a gateway-to-gateway network protocol standard that provides Fibre Channel fabric functionality to Fibre Channel devices over an IP network. It is officially ratified by the Internet Engineering Task Force. Its most common forms are in 1 Gbit/s, 2 Gbit/s, 4 Gbit/s, 8 Gbit/s, and 10 Gbit/s, a shortened ...
Fibre Channel started in 1988, with ANSI standard approval in 1994, to merge the benefits of multiple physical layer implementations including SCSI, HIPPI and ESCON. Fibre Channel was designed as a serial interface to overcome limitations of the SCSI and HIPPI physical-layer parallel-signal copper wire interfaces. Such interfaces face the ...
Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) is the SCSI interface protocol utilising an underlying Fibre Channel connection. The Fibre Channel standards define a high-speed data transfer mechanism that can be used to connect workstations, mainframes, supercomputers, storage devices and displays. FCP addresses the need for very fast transfers of large volumes ...

All Fibre Channel communication is done in units of four 10-bit codes. This group of 4 codes is called a transmission word. An ordered set is a transmission word that includes some combination of control (K) codes and data (D) codes.

In computer networking, a Fibre Channel frame is the frame of the Fibre Channel protocol. [1] The basic building blocks of an FC connection are the frames. They contain the information to be transmitted (payload), the address of the source and destination ports and link control information. Frames are broadly categorized as Data frames; Link ...
