Fibre Channel Protocol
Fibre Channel Protocol is a high-speed network technology primarily used for connecting computer data storage to servers. It enables fast and reliable data transfer, making it ideal for storage area networks (SANs). The protocol supports various topologies, including point-to-point, arbitrated loop, and switched fabric, allowing flexibility in network design.
Fibre Channel operates at speeds ranging from 1 Gbps to 128 Gbps, ensuring efficient data transmission. It uses a layered architecture, similar to the OSI model, which helps in managing data flow and error correction. This makes it a preferred choice for enterprise environments requiring robust and scalable storage solutions.
