Summary

Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) is an encapsulation of Fibre Channel frames over Ethernet networks. This allows Fibre Channel to use 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks (or higher speeds) while preserving the Fibre Channel protocol. The specification, supported by a large number of network and storage vendors, is part of the International Committee for Information Technology Standards T11 FC-BB-5 standard. This book is your ultimate resource for Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). Here you will find the most up-to-date information, analysis, background and everything you need to know.
