Technically, iSCSI and iFCP are not very far apart. The principle of iSCSI is that SCSI commands are EMBEDDED in IP packets. iFCP works very similarly - at its core, SCSI commands are at work, which are transmitted over an IP network. The difference is at Layer Four of the protocol stack. With iFCP, this layer of the Fibre Channel stack is retained, allowing the use of management APPLICATIONS for Fibre Channel networks with iFCP.

iFCP and also FCIP are USED to connect SANs to each other. In contrast to iFCP, FCIP creates a tunnel between FC SANs.
