FIBRE CHANNEL STANDARD

The Fibre Channel standard has coined various terms that are important to know when using the

Zeus

IOPS

SSD. This section will present the basic terms in context to help provide an intuitive

understanding of the Fibre Channel interface.

FIBRE CHANNEL ARBITRATED LOOP

The “Fibre” or “link” refers to the copper or optical cable that connects two Fibre Channel devices via

their ports. A device, known as a “node”, can have more than one port. For example, the Zeus

IOPS

SSD is a node with two ports that is linked with a copper cable, or fibre.

Nodes are connected in a “topology”. The SSD may be connected to an “Arbitrated Loop” (AL), where

the nodes of the loop are connected in a circle. See Figure 4.
