The Fibre Channel provides a common efficient transport vehicle for existing channel protocols like Intelligent Peripheral Interface (IPI), Small Computer System Interface (SCSI), and High-Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI), while offering the characteristics of a new framing type protocol. The main focus driving the design was to find a solution to obtain high throughput using hardware processing and careful protocol relaying architecture between the FCS and ATM. A performance study, considering the protocol relaying architecture and the FCS flow control was performed; the results show that throughput rates approaching line bit rates can be achieved.

Abstract
The Fibre Channel provides a common efficient transport vehicle for existing channel protocols like Intelligent Peripheral Interface (IPI), Small Computer System Interface (SCSI), and High-Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI), while offering the characteristics of a new framing type protocol. The main focus driving the design was to find a solution to obtain high throughput using hardware processing and careful protocol relaying architecture between the FCS and ATM. A performance study, considering the protocol relaying architecture and the FCS flow control was performed; the results show that throughput rates approaching line bit rates can be achieved.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
