 | | The intention of the Fibre Channel (FC) is to develop practical, inexpensive, yet expendable means of quickly transferring data between workstations, mainframes, supercomputers, desktop computers, storage devices, displays and other peripherials. |
 | | FC operates at a wide variety of speeds (133 Mbit/s, 266 Mbit/s, 530 Mbit/s, and 1 Gbits/s) and on three types of both electrical and optical media. |
 | | FC is structured as a set of hierarchical functions (Figure 2). |
